Need help in passing checkbox value and its status to jquery function

Question

I've a checkbox as mentioned below.

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
         <input type='checkbox' name='testing1' value='testing1' onclick='javascript: testingFunction(this.checked,'testing1');'>
    </td>
    <td>
         <input type='text' name='tesing1_qty' id='testing1_qty' class='inputtext' readonly=''>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

I want to enable the textbox once the checkbox is selected.

I've used a function as below.

function testingFunction(checkboxStatus,checkboxValue){ 
     if(checkboxStatus==true){ 
           $("#"+checkboxValue+"_qty").attr('readonly', false);
     }
}

But i'm getting a syntax error. I'm not sure where I go wrong. Please help me on this. Thanks in advance

it is your onclick, you are using all single quotes

onclick='javascript: testingFunction(this.checked,'testing1');'

change one of the sets to double quotes

onclick="javascript: testingFunction(this.checked,'testing1');">

I would change other stuff too since you tag this as jquery but I will leave this as is to solve your syntax error

Is this what you're trying to do?

$('#testing1').click(function() {
  $("#testing1_qty").attr('disabled', !this.checked);
});

I used jquery for this, as you tagged this post as jquery..

Edit: fixed to use this.checked :)
