   $(":button").click(function() {
        $("#inputdefect").submit() '{'  <-- is this typos?
            $.ajax({
                type: "post",
                url: "process1.php",
                data: "status="+str+"&action=defstat",
                cache: false,
                success: function() {
                    $(".defect").removeAttr("checked");
                    return this;
                }
            });
        '}' <-- is this typos?
    });

what are you trying to achieve with $(":button").click()? you got errors there...
