is there a simple way to find out if a checkbox is checked in jquery.
something like .checked or ischecked

A:
el.is(':checked')
That's the jQuery way. At its core, though, it's just a bit more parsing to get down to el[0].checked, using the raw DOM property, so take whichever you prefer. The DOM method is probably better for actually testing an element, whereas :checked is better for selecting it in the first place.

@Vivek Chandrapravash - glad to help :) Be sure to click on the check mark next to an answer once you're allowed, to help boost that 44% accept rate ;)

`el[0].checked`, no reason to not use the DOM property when in an `if` statement, it's much faster :)
