Jquery if checkbox is checked add a class

Question

I am trying to add a class when a checkbox is checked.

My jquery:

$(\'input\').attr(\"checked\").change(function(){
$(\'div.menuitem\').addClass(\"me         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

$('input').change(function(){
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('div.menuitem').addClass("menuitemshow");
    }
});

You cannot have a change event on an attribute, instead check the change event of the checkbox itself and run a condition to see if it's been checked.
