Can someone help me figure out how to write this jQuery

I am using jQuery to select a checkbox, highlight the row that the checkbox is in and then I want to update the value of a pick list field in that row.  I am just learning... but it doesn't seem to be working all the way.  Here is my code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.record_table tr').click(function (event) {
        if (event.target.type !== 'checkbox') {
            $(':checkbox', this).trigger('click');
        }
    });

    $("input[type='checkbox']").change(function (e) {
        if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
            $(this).closest('tr').addClass("highlight_row")
            $(':checkbox').siblings('td')
            $(this).val('Saab 95');
        } else {
            $(this).closest('tr').removeClass("highlight_row");
        }
    });
});


Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!
