Hi there,

I'm having some trouble with determining the status of a checkbox after it has been clicked with the jquery.checkbox plugin

Here's my test case

When you tick on the 'fancy' checkbox, the javascript attempts to get the status with

alert(this.checked);

- but as you can see it gets it precisely wrong, presumably because it is getting the status of the checkbox before it has actually been changed.

Can anyone advise how to do this properly?

Thank you

Michael I haven't even looked at your example or code, but try using

alert($(this).attr('checked'));

instead of

alert(this.checked);

cheers

another way for checking the status of checkbox:

alert($(this).is(':checked'));
