jQuery Disabled Checkbox Array By Value

Question

<input type="checkbox" class="largecheckbox" name="chk_wms[]" value="m1" />
<input type="checkbox" class="largecheckbox" name="chk_wms[]" value="m2" />
<input type="checkbox" class="largecheckbox" name="chk_wms[]" value="m3" />
<input type="checkbox" class="largecheckbox" name="chk_wms[]" value="m4" />

How can I disable m1 and m3? I tried:

J("input:checkbox[name=chk_wms[value='m1']]").attr("disabled", true);

And I would like to combine the command in one jQuery call something like:

J("input:checkbox[name=chk_wms[value='m1']], input:checkbox[name=chk_wms[value='m3']] ").attr("disabled", true);

by the way if 1,3 is consistent you could use 'odd' selector that would do the trick — alonisser

by the way this awfully complicated selector and overly specific on the left side that should be less specific., you don't really need the name selector etc.. — alonisser

I find your question hard to understand in this format - could you edit refine your question or start a new one? — alonisser

The problem is your attribute selector is incorrect. You've nested the attribute selector when really you need to make them siblings. Additionally you need to escape the [] in the name of the checkbox. Try the following

J('input:checkbox[name="chk_wms\[\]"][value="m1"]').attr('disabled', true);

by the way - if when you say disable you mean unchecked you should replace attr with .prop("checked",false)

use prop instead

J('input:checkbox[name="chk_wms"][value="m1"]').prop('disabled', true);
