finding all checkboxes that are NOT checked

Question

If I wanted to select all checkboxes that are selected, I could do this.

$('#mydiv input[type=checkbox]:checked')

Is there a similarly simple syntax that lets me select all the checkboxes that are NOT selected?

Answer 1

Hiya yep: demo http://jsfiddle.net/usvrb/

http://api.jquery.com/not-selector/

  The .not() method will end up providing you with more readable selections than pushing complex selectors or variables into a :not() 

selector filter. In most cases, it is a better choice.

Hope this helps, :) cheers!

Answer 2

 $('#mydiv input[type=checkbox]:not(:checked)')

Answer 3

You won't believe it.

$('#mydiv input[type=checkbox]').not(':checked')
