Question

I’m trying to find out how to check if a checkbox is checked or not.

I know about the :checked selector but I’m trying to do this using the $(this) object.

$(".permission_checkbox").live('change',function(){
    if($(this+":checked").length==0){
        alert('remove');
    } else {
        alert('add');
    }
});

This code always calls alert('add')!

Thanks for any help & merry christmas

Answer 1

Try jQuery.is:

$(this).is(":checked")

Hope it helps
