Labels and hidden fields in Internet Explorer (and jquery)

Question

I\'m having trouble checking hidden checkboxes in IE. This is the base html:

Answer 1

Marc Diethelm : Hidden checkboxes don't receive events in IE version below 9.

As variant, instead visibility: hidden; or display: none, use clip: rect(0 0 0 0);

So instead

$('input[type=checkbox]').hide();

or

$('input[type=checkbox]').css('visibility', 'hidden');

use something like

$('input:checkbox').addClass('hidden');

and

input[type=checkbox].hidden {
    clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
    position: absolute; /* move out of document flow */
}

It works in normal browsers and in IE8
