ColVis (any version) & jQuery 1.6+ bug and fix

jimhap

Was unable uncheck ColVis column option inputs with FF 5.0. & jQuery 1.6.

From the jQuery 1.6 release notes, the attr() function has altered a bit. Recommended way of determining checked state is with $('input').is(':checked')

http://blog.jquery.com/2011/05/03/jquery-16-released/

replacing ColVis.js lines 424-427:

var showHide = $('input', this).attr('checked') === true ? false : true;
if (e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "input") {
showHide = $('input', this).attr('checked');
}

with the following code fixes the problem.

var showHide = !$('input', this).is(":checked");
if (e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "input") {
showHide = $('input', this).is(":checked");
}

Hope this helps.

Awesome - thank you for that! I've just committed in your change and it will be included in the next ColVis release which I'll be putting out later on today.
