see if parent is checkbox

Question

How can I check if "this" is a checkbox?

This is the way to see if it is an selectbox

if($(this).parent().is('select'))   {

Now can I see wether it is a checkbox? So I tried this:

 }else if($(this).is(:Checkbox)){\n

But it gives me a syntax error. Any help is welcome.

Answer 1

Have you tried:

if($(this).is(':checkbox'))

Answer 2

How can I see if it's also checked?

Answer 3

Checkbox:

if ($(this).is(":checkbox")) ...

Checked:

if ($(this).is(":checkbox:checked")) ...

Consult jQuery selectors.
