Hi J.,
Thanks for the tips, but I can't seem to address every checkbox.
This code triggers the alert on load:
if ( $(".checklist").is(":checked") ) {
alert("found a checked box");
$(this).parent().css("background","lightgreen");
}
But the background is not changed.
Plus, the alert only fires once, so I take that to mean only one 'hit' was
found (in my test, 3 of the 8 boxes with checklist class were checked).
I need to have the CSS modify every checked checkbox with a class of
"checklist".
