#4049 closed bug (duplicate)

Cannot set checkboxes in strict XHTML

Reported by: gglockner Owned by: john
Priority: major Milestone: 1.3.2
Component: data Version: 1.3.1
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked by: Blocking:

Description

Suppose you have a strict XHTML page in jQuery 1.3.1, and suppose the DOM contains a checkbox. If you try to set the state of the checkbox via $("#c").attr("checked","checked") or clear it with $("#c").removeAttr("checked"), the state of the checkbox is not affected.

This affects Webkit and Firefox.

Clarification: if the user clicks on the checkbox first, then jQuery is unable to change the state of the checkbox.

It sounds like this may be related to XML detection in Sizzle? See also #4054.

Replying to dmethvin:

I wondered about this. Should XHTML be treated as XML or as HTML?

This is directly related to http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4283 (and is basically the same bug)

I've uploaded a temporary fix by proxying attr and remoteAttr. It's not an ideal solution or fix. But for folks with the server sending application-xhtml+xml content type correctly, this will work.

I think this is another property-vs-attribute issue. The browser determines the initial value of the checked property by looking at the checked attribute. The checked property controls whether the box is checked or not.

Dup of #4283 which has more discussion.
