if ($(this).attr('checked')) {}
but I had to write it this way:
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {}
Q: Why?

Having been through this recently, it depends on what version of jQuery you are using. As of 1.6, the functioning of
attrwith native properties (e.g. “checked”, “disabled”) — properties being attributes that are supposed to either exist or not – changed, because they could return inconsistent results depending on browser behavior.The correct way to set or test a property in 1.6 is with the new
propfunction, which returns true or false always. The 2nd method you use is also valid to test.
