get current state of check box jquery [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use is() with :checked to get the result as boolean that is true if checkbox is checked.

ckb = $("#ickb").is(':checked');

Or, you can use length, if it is zero then it is not checked.

ckb = $("#ickb::checked").length

Answer 2

Try to use .is() function along with :checked selector to accomplish your task,

ckb = $("#ickb").is(':checked');
