Question

In my application, the user can check or uncheck a checkbox.
On the change event:

    $('#Inactive_cb').change(function () {

    ....
    this.checked = !this.checked;

I check to see if the value has changed. In change(), I also check to see if they have permission to even do the change. If they don’t I like to undo, the check/uncheck.

Question:

Is the way I have it above ideal? I have:

     this.checked = !this.checked;

Answer 1

You can use

if($(this).is(':checked')){
    $(this).attr('checked', false);
}

Or if you have a newer version of jQuery you can use

if($(this).is(':checked')){
    $(this).prop('checked', false);
}
