Question

i have no idea why in my mvc application when i do return “true” value to the check-box in view page why its tic sign is not appearing ? need help with this.

view page

<div id="maindiv">
<%: Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.status)%>
<%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.status)%>
</div>

this is the script to set data to for checkbox

<script type="text/javascript">
   $('#status').val(true);
   alert(" active " + $('#status').val());
</script>

Answer 1

Instead of $('#status').val(true) try;

$('#status').prop('checked', true); //checked
$('#status').prop('checked', false); //unchecked

Or for jQuery 1.5 and below

$('#status').attr('checked','checked');
