jQuery event.target and is(":checked") not working
<p>Just a simple question.</p>

<p>I'm using</p>

<pre><code>console.log(jQuery(event.target).is(":checked"));
</code></pre>

<p>and it returns false everytime.</p>

<p>If I do a <code>console.log(jQuery(event.target))</code> is prints out the input box, so I know event.target is correct.</p>

<p>I can't use <code>this</code> here because the jQuery event is bound to a parent div.</p>

<p>Any ideas why this wouldn't work?  Seems easy enough.</p>

<p>EDIT#########################################
Rest of code:</p>

<pre><code>jQuery(".core-create-install-pkg-parent").live("click", function(event){
var cls = jQuery(event.target).attr("type");
if(cls != "checkbox"){
    event.stopPropagation();
    jQuery(".core-create-install-pkg-child:first", this).toggle();
}else{
    console.log(event.target);
    if(jQuery(event.target).is(":checked")){
        console.log("it's checked");
        jQuery("input[type=checkbox]", this).removeAttr('checked'); 
    }else{
        console.log("not checked");
        jQuery("input[type=checkbox]", this).attr("checked", true);
    }
}
});
</code></pre>

<p>And the html looks like:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div class="core-create-install-pkg-parent"&gt;
  &lt;div class="core-create-install-pkg-title"&gt;
    &lt;input type="checkbox" value="" checked&gt;
    plugins
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>
