How to set checkbox with a certain value checked in jquery?

Question

I have HTML elements:

<input class="type_checkbox" id="1" name="types[]" type="checkbox" value="1">
<input class="type_checkbox" id="0" name="types[]" type="checkbox" value="6">

I want to set checkbox true with jQuery where value is equal to 6. Pls help.

Answer 1

You can use the attribute selector along with prop() to set the checked property.

$('input.type_checkbox[value="6"]').prop('checked', true);

You can obviously amend the input.type_checkbox part of the selector to better suit your needs.

Answer 2

Use attribute equals selector:

$('input.type_checkbox[value=6]').prop('checked', true);
