jQuery: Test if checkbox is NOT checked

Question

I\'m having trouble figuring this out. I have two checkboxes (in the future will have more):

• checkSurfaceEnvironment-1
• checkSurface

Answer 1

An alternative way:

Here is a working example and here is the code, you should also use prop.

$('input[type="checkbox"]').mouseenter(function() { 
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
        //$(this).prop('checked',false);
        alert("is checked");
    } else {
         //$(this).prop('checked',true);
        alert("not checked");
    }
});​

I commented out the way to toggle the checked attribute.
