How can alter the value of every single input element, by a fixed amount, without using a loop?
<p>I want select every inputbox of type text and transform by a fixed amount, when checkbox is checked, so far I have this. However I wondered if there was a way to do this without iterating over every element ...</p>

<pre><code>    $("#myID").change(function(){

       if($(this).is(':checked')){

           //I can't do this :
           $("input:text").val( $("input:text").val()*4);     

          //I have to do this ?
          $("input:text").each(function(index){
               $(this).val($(this).val()*4);
           });

    });
</code></pre>
