How to uncheck checkbox using jQuery Uniform library

Question

I have a problem with unchecking a checkbox. Have a look at my jsFiddle, where I am attempting:

   $(\"#check2\").attr(\"checked\", true);
<         


        

Answer 1

$("#chkBox").attr('checked', false); 

This worked for me, this will uncheck the check box. In the same way we can use

$("#chkBox").attr('checked', true); 

to check the checkbox.

Answer 2

$('#check1').prop('checked', true).uniform(); 
$('#check1').prop('checked', false).uniform(); 

This worked for me.

Answer 3

First of all, checked can have a value of checked, or an empty string.

$("input:checkbox").uniform();

$('#check1').live('click', function() {
    $('#check2').attr('checked', 'checked').uniform();
});

Answer 4

checkbox that act like radio btn

$(".checkgroup").live('change',function() { var previous=this.checked; $(".checkgroup).attr("checked", false); $(this).attr("checked", previous); });

Answer 5

A simpler solution is to do this rather than using uniform:

$('#check1').prop('checked', true); // will check the checkbox with id check1
$('#check1').prop('checked', false); // will uncheck the checkbox with id check1

This will not trigger any click action defined.

You can also use:

$('#check1').click(); // 

This will toggle the check/uncheck for the checkbox but this will also trigger any click action you have defined. So be careful.

EDIT: jQuery 1.6+ uses prop() not attr() for checkboxes checked value

Answer 6

In some case you can use this:

$('.myInput').get(0).checked = true

For toggle you can use if else with function
