How do I get Jquery to compare between two selectors?
<p>I think my JQuery knowledge is a little lacking.</p>

<p>On my page I have 0 or more hidden variables that look like this.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type='hidden' class='defaultTickedStatus' value='INACTIVE' /&gt;
&lt;input type='hidden' class='defaultTickedStatus' value='ACTIVE' /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>They can be accessed via the selector $(".defaultTickedStatus")</p>

<p>I also have a number of checkboxes in an element like this </p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="checkboxes"&gt;
&lt;input type="checkbox" value="INACTIVE" id="checkbox1" tabindex="30430"&gt;
&lt;input type="checkbox" value="ACTIVE" id="checkbox1" tabindex="30430"&gt;
&lt;input type="checkbox" value="SUBMITTED" id="checkbox1" tabindex="30430"&gt;
&lt;input type="checkbox" value="FINALISED" id="checkbox1" tabindex="30430"&gt;
...
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>They can be accessed via the selector $("#checkboxes input")</p>

<p>What I would like to do is when the user clicks a button, I want it go through all of the checkboxes and for the ones that have a value which equals one of the values in the hidden tags, then to check it.</p>

<p>However, being a little unfamiliar with JQuery, I'm unfamiliar with how to accomplish this. This is what I have so far...</p>

<pre><code>    $("#checkboxes input").each(function (index, Element)
    {
        $(".defaultTickedStatus").each(function (i2, status)
        {
            if (status.value == Element.value)
            {
                $(status).selected(true);
            }

        });

    });
</code></pre>

<p>It's getting to the $(status).selected(true) part but for some reason, it does not seem to work. Also, I'm positive there is a much easier way to do this through Jquery.</p>

<p>Wonder if anyone can help me.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
