title: How to get Checkbox status?
body: <p>I have following html control in view: </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;%= Html.CheckBox("MyStatus", (item.MyStatus&gt;0)?true:false)%&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I want to get the value for this checkbox: if it is checked, return true, otherwise return false. I try it as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#MyStatus").attr("checked").value
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I can't get the right value. </p>
  
  <p>How to resolve it?</p>
