jQuery checkbox checked attribute

Question

This works:

$('#Liste_EMPL input:checkbox').attr ('disabled', false);
$('#Liste_EMPL input:checkbox:checked').attr ('disabled', true);

It is very clumsy, as it requires two lines of code whereas I mean:

«Set disabled attribute to false for all checkboxes that are NOT checked.»

It should be something like this:

$("#Liste_EMPL input:checkbox [checked='false']").attr ('disabled', false);

I have tried many syntactic forms to no avail.

What is the correct syntax? (Please no loop including conditional statements).

Use :not

$("#Liste_EMPL input:checkbox:not(:checked)").attr('disabled', false);
