javascript - Which Element property is connected to the CSS `:checked` selector? -

i'm using css :checked selector, like

.mycheckbox:checked { // style checked state }

but, when set

$('.mycheckbox').each(function() { this.checked = false });

the above css remains matched.

how can above :checked css rule stop matching?

your code works absolutely fine me: http://jsbin.com/xakugemi/1/edit?html,css,output. check checkbox , click uncheck button. notice missing browser back upwards :checked selector in ie<8.: http://caniuse.com/#search=checked.
