How to check whether a checkbox is checked in jQuery?
I need to check the
checked property of a checkbox and perform an action based on the checked property using jQuery.
For example, if the age checkbox is checked, then I need to show a textbox to enter age, else hide the textbox.
But the following code returns
false by default:if($('#isAgeSelected').attr('checked')) {
$("#txtAge").show();
} else {
$("#txtAge").hide();
}
How do I successfully query the
checked property?Answer:
This worked for me:
$get("isAgeSelected ").checked == true
Where
isAgeSelected is the id of the control.
Also, @karim79's answer works fine. I am not sure what I missed at the time I tested it.
Note, this is answer uses Microsoft Ajax, not jQuery
