jQuery: make checkboxes act like radio buttons?

Question

Is there a way to make checkboxes act like radio buttons? I assume this could be done with jQuery?

Answer 1

basically the same answer as @amosrivera but remove the unchecking of all the checkbox as its necessary. instead use .not()

    $("input:checkbox").click(function(){
        var group = "input:checkbox[name='"+$(this).prop("name")+"']";
        $(group).not(this).prop("checked",false);
    });
