How do I determine the checked state of checkboxes from an array returned by JQuery?
<p>How do I determine the state of a checkbox (i.e. checked or unchecked) with the following code:</p>

<pre><code>function deleteItems() {
    var items = $('.td_checkbox');
    for (var item in items) {

        // this doesn't work
        if ($(item).is(:checked) == true)
            alert('delete my div if checked!');            
    }
}
</code></pre>
