Using trigger() to check a checkbox, how can I tell if it's checked or not without the checked="checked" being set?
<p>Using jQuery 1.9.0, if I use <code>.trigger('click')</code> on a checkbox, the <code>checked</code> attribute does not get set. Is there any way else I can tell if a checkbox is checked then? Right now, I have to explicitly handle that click event and manually toggle the attribute. With jQuery supposedly simplifying JavaScript, this seems like a long way to go about it. </p>

<p>I used to not have to do this in 1.8.3, but in 1.9.0, setting the attribute doesn't update the display in the browser for whatever reason. </p>
