jqueryHow do I uncheck a checkbox using jQuery?

To uncheck a checkbox using jQuery, you can use the prop() method. This method will set the property of the checkbox to false:

$('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', false);

The code above will uncheck all checkboxes on the page. To uncheck a specific checkbox, you can use the attr() method, passing in the checked attribute and setting it to false:

$('#myCheckbox').attr('checked', false);

The code above will uncheck the checkbox with the id of myCheckbox.
