Get checkbox checked state using JQuery

Question

I am assigned to get the boolean value of a checkbox.

I couldn't find a way to get the boolean value of the checkbox. e.g: true,false.

Is there a way to do this?

As id is unique, hence, you can get it directly. Use, is() function to check the property.

Update from

var $text = $row.document.getElementById("#emulation").checked();

to

var $text = $("#emulation").is(":checked");
