How to change the name of input checkbox with jQuery?

Question

I tried :

$('input[name="INPUT_NAME"]').prop('name', 'INPUT_NAME['+ id +']');

$('input[name="INPUT_NAME"]').attr('name', 'INPUT_NAME['+ id +']');

Note : i absolutely need to get INPUT_NAME with [ID] to tag it and make difference between multiple same input checkbox inside the same form.

Thanks for your help!

What is wrong? For me $('input[name="INPUT_NAME"]').attr('name', 'INPUT_NAME[1]'); works — mkutyba

If you want to name your inputs using their id, then you can do

$('input[name="INPUT_NAME"]').attr('name', function(){
     return 'INPUT_NAME['+ this.id +']'
});

But really, there is no good reason I can imagine to do such a thing.

seems fair enough, i'd say
