Why this java script does not work? Pls help

Answer 1

   $("input[@name=paradigm]").attr('checked',checked_status);

The reason yours doesn't worked is because $('...').checked is a value return, not a reference. To change the checked attribute, you need to use the attr setter.

Answer 2

Woah dude, you have some crazy things going on here, I suggest cleaning up the way it was pasted here, I think we could read it better then.

Answer 3

I think you can safely remove the each from this code

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#paradigm_all").click(function() {
    $("input[name=paradigm]").attr({checked: $(this).is(':checked')});
  });
