Check if a checkbox is check in jQuery

Question

So I would like to know after form submitting if a checkbox is checked or not.

I used this lines:

var isChecked = $('#USR_RememberMe').attr('checked') ? true : false;
alert(isChecked);

But isChecked is equals to false each times.

Could you please help me ?

Try [`.prop()`](http://api.jquery.com/prop/) instead of [`.attr()`](http://api.jquery.com/attr/). Also, note the "*Attributes vs. Properties*" section in the documentation for `.prop()`. — Jonathan Lonowski, Jul 14 '15 at 23:57

Do this:

$("#USR_RememberMe").is(":checked");

:checked is a pseudo class.
