checkbox check/uncheck using d3

I am having difficulty checking and unchecking checkboxes using d3 selection. The following code doesn't seem to work. I want all check boxes to be checked when 'check' is pressed, and all checkboxes unchecked when 'uncheck' is pressed.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<body>
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<button type='button' onclick='checkAll()'>Check</button>
<button type='button' onclick='uncheckAll()'>Uncheck</button>

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v2.min.js?2.10.0"></script>

<script>
function checkAll(){
    d3.selectAll('input').attr('checked','true');
}
function uncheckAll(){
    d3.selectAll('input').attr('checked','false');
}
</script>
</body>

Use property() instead of attr():

function checkAll() {
    d3.selectAll('input').property('checked', true);
}
function uncheckAll() {
    d3.selectAll('input').property('checked', false);
}

From https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Selections#wiki-property:

Some HTML elements have special properties that are not addressable using standard attributes or styles. For example, form text fields have a value string property, and checkboxes have a checked boolean property. You can use the property operator to get or set these properties.

Change your uncheckAll function to set the checked attributes to null instead of false:

function uncheckAll(){
    d3.selectAll('input').attr('checked',null);
}

The checked attribute is either present, optionally set to checked="checked", or absent (no checked attribute at all). Setting it to null will remove the attribute, in this case.
