jQuery Change Value based on Value

Question

Can you change the value of an input field based on the original value?

<input type="checkbox" value="fooBar1" class="checkbox" />
<input type="checkbox" value="fooBar2" class="checkbox" />

Was trying something like this ...

if ($('.checkbox').val() == 'fooBar1') {
   $(this).val('1');
}

Answer 1

if ($("input.checkbox").attr("value") == "fooBar1") {
   $(this).attr("value","NEW VALUE");
}

Answer 2

This will do it:

$(".checkbox[value=fooBar1]").val(1);
