Check checkbox checked property using jQuery
I am having an issue picking up when a checkbox is not checked.
Here is my sample code:
$(".get-the-look ul input").click(function(){
if("this:checked") {
var product = $(this).attr('alt');
$("#bob div").remove('.'+product);
} else {
alert('asdasd');
}
});
But the alert (if the checkbox isn't checked) never fires... The 'else' never kicks in no matter what state the checkbox is in?
I don't see where I am going wrong.
you can't pass this:checked as a string - it won't work as it will be interpreted as a string and always evaluate to true
use $(this).is(':checked') instead
The string "this:checked" will always evaluate to TRUE. Try this.checked instead, i.e., evaluate the property checked on this:
if(this.checked) { ...
