This is a problem of mixing jQuery, and DOM, methods. jQuery doesn't have access to the .value property of the node, instead use:

$('.checkall').prop('checked',true);

You need this:

$('.checkall').prop('checked',true);

Or:

$('.checkall')[0].checked = true ;

You would use .prop() to set the property of checked or directly covnert the jQuery element to HTMLElement and then directly set the value.
