show your HTML (best in a jsfiddle), that would at least help... but you should tell us what's wrong! — JMax, Nov 08 '11 at 07:58

Instead of

$('#chkCaption').attr('checked')

you may want to try this:

$(this).is(':checked')

try this:

$('#chkCaption').live("click", function() {
    if (this.checked) {
        $('#divCaption').show();
    }
    else {
        $('#divCaption').hide();
    }
});

this should be in document.ready.

Instead of Jquery attr or is you can use javascript property checked

+1 using `this.checked` instead of `.is(':checked')`, -1 for using obsolete `.live()` – HenningCash Mar 03 '13 at 01:18

In jQuery 1.9 .live() was removed. So the actual answers changed, if using javascript .checked:

$('#chkCaption').on("click", function() {
  if (this.checked) {
    $('#divCaption').show("table-row");
  }
  else {
    $('#divCaption').hide();
  }
});

In pure jQuery:

$('#chkCaption').on("click", function() {
  if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
    $('#divCaption').show();
  }
  else {
    $('#divCaption').hide();
  }
});

You just forgot the function declaration parens on show()

$('#chkCaption').live("click", function() {
    if ($('#chkCaption').attr("checked")) {
        $('#divCaption').show();
    }
    else {
        $('#divCaption').hide();
    }
});

$('#chkCaption').click(function () {

        if ($(this).is(':checked')) {

            //Show div
        } else {
            //Hide div
        }
});

That should do it ;)

you are missing (), TRY

$('#chkCaption').live("click", function() {
    if ($('#chkCaption').prop("checked")) {
        $('#divCaption').show();
    }
    else {
        $('#divCaption').hide();
    }
});
