How to use specific selectors on $(this)
<p>I'm trying to find out how to check if a checkbox is checked or not.</p>

<p>I know about the <code>:checked</code> selector but I'm trying to do this using the <code>$(this)</code> object.</p>

<pre><code>$(".permission_checkbox").live('change',function(){
    if($(this+":checked").length==0){
        alert('remove');
    } else {
        alert('add');
    }
});
</code></pre>

<p>This code always calls <code>alert('add')</code>!</p>

<p>Thanks for any help &amp; merry christmas</p>
