How to check all checkboxes in a specific column javascript?

Question

Say I have a table with 3 columns, only the 1st and 3rd column of TDs have checkboxes. I have a button that says "SelectAllFirst" that puts a checkmark on all checkboxes in the first column only, the 3rd remains uncheked. How do I accomplish this?

I thought it would be something like this:

$("#mytable tr td:eq(0) input:[type=checkbox]").prop("checked", true);

(but that doesnt do anything. Removing the "eq(0)" results in all checkboxes including the 3rd column to be checked)

what about removing the colon from between input and the square brackets? — simekadam

I think this should work,though I didnt try it out:

$("#mytable tr td:nth-child(1) input[type=checkbox]").prop("checked", true);

td is the cell, I guess you mean the row. Hard to tell without html though...

$("#mytable tr:eq(0) td input:checkbox").prop("checked", true);

I've created a Fiddle for you here: http://jsfiddle.net/pwCKu/

I believe there are better ways to toggle the check. Just a proof of concept.

  $("#checkAll").click(function () {
$(".check").prop('checked', $(this).prop('checked'));

});
This is the code for checking all checkboxes with a checkbox like "select all".
