Question

In the jQuery documentation, it says

Do not use removeProp to remove
native properties such as checked,
disabled, or selected. This will
remove the property completely and,
once removed, cannot be added again to
element. Use .prop() to set these
properties to false instead.

Q: Instead of:

$('input:checkbox').not(this).removeAttr('checked');

I should I now use:

$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked',false);

Answer 1

Use

$('input:checkbox').not(this).attr('checked', false);

Update: Seems like I didn’t get the news about jQuery 1.6’s .prop(). Looks like your code is right.
