  // also
   var ApprovalRequired = $('<%= chkRequired.ClientID %>').val();

  <input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_chkRequired" type="checkbox" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$chkRequired" checked="checked">

in either way its returning 'false'. Any idea to get true when checked and false on unchecked

Answer 1

You forgot the # in your selector:

$('#<%= chkRequired.ClientID %>').is(':checked');

That should work
