Unable to display table rows based on criteria using jQuery

I have a HTML table (id="tblID") that is populated from database. The rows have a data attribute status, which can either be "Y" or "N" and only rows that have "Y" are to be shown on page load. Somewhere in the $(document).ready() there is this call: which is supposed to show the active rows on page load by passing "Y" to the showRowsByStatus:

$("#tblID tr").each(function () {
    showRowsByStatus("Y", $(this));
});

There is also checkbox Show Inactive Rows which when checked will show the inactive rows and when unchecked will show active rows.

$("#chkBox").change(function () {
    if (this.checked) {
        $("#tblID tr").each(function () {
            showRowsByStatus("N", $(this));
        });
    }
    else {
        $("#tblID tr").each(function () {
            showRowsByStatus("Y", $(this));
        });
    }
});

This is the definition of showRowsByStatus method:

function showRowsByStatus(activeStatus, tr) {
    if (tr.data("status") == activeStatus && tr.data("status") != undefined) {
        tr.show();
    }
    if (tr.data("status") != activeStatus && tr.data("status") != undefined) {
        tr.hide();
    }
}

Now the problem I am facing is, on page load active rows are not being displayed at all, but when I toggle the checkbox Show Inactive Rows, the rows are displayed as expected.

What am I missing in the showRowsByStatus method?

I also found that style="display:none" is being added to all rows when the page loads. I have checked every where in the project and I can't find anything that sets this style to these rows. I tried .css("display","none !important") for hiding and .css("display","block !important") for showing, but it didn't help. So I am thinking I should fix the showRowsByStatus method.

This code is working fine and I changed nothing in your jQuery code. May be related to your HTML code around it. You can try it there : http://seo035.com/test/

<script>
$(document).ready( function(){
    $("#tblID tr").each(function () {
        showRowsByStatus("Y", $(this));
    });

    $("#chkBox").change(function () {
        if (this.checked) {
            $("#tblID tr").each(function () {
                showRowsByStatus("N", $(this));
            });
        }
        else {
            $("#tblID tr").each(function () {
                showRowsByStatus("Y", $(this));
            });
        }
    });      
 })

function showRowsByStatus(activeStatus, tr) {
    if (tr.data("status") == activeStatus && tr.data("status") != undefined) {
        tr.show();
    }
    if (tr.data("status") != activeStatus && tr.data("status") != undefined) {
        tr.hide();
    }
}

</script>
<table id="tblID">
<tr data-status="Y"><td>Row Y</td></tr>
<tr data-status="N"><td>Row N</td></tr>
</table>
<form>
<input id="chkBox" type="checkbox" name="chkBox" value="">
</form>
</body>
</html>
