jQuery uncheck checkbox with name property

Question

On an HTML page, I have a checkbox with the name property. I can't uncheck it with the name attribute.

HTML :

<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="show_static_notify">

jQuery :

$("input[name='show_static_notify']:checkbox:not(:checked)");

Answer 1

Use .prop()

$("input[name='show_static_notify']:checkbox").prop('checked',false);

Answer 2

what you are doing is to find the unchecked checkbox with given name

To uncheck the checkbox, use .prop()

$("input[name='show_static_notify']").prop('checked', false);
