Check box, enable overload to view other items

Ok, The question here is to allow a form to grab information from a mysql settings, like enabled or disabled. then a checkbox is going to determine if the the 3 following text fields (box123) are going to be enabled or disabled depending on that request.

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <form>
        <input type="checkbox" name="detailsgiven" id="checker" checked=checked>Enabled?
        <br>
        <input type='text' name="details" id="tb1" value='box1'>
        <br>
        <input type='text' name="details" id="tb2" value='box2'>
        <br>
        <input type='text' name="details" id="tb3" value='box3'>
        <br>
    </form>
</body>

</html

test.js Jquery code which allows the check to be enabled or disabled depending on the activation varible

toggleInputs($('#checker'));

$('#checker').click(function () {
    toggleInputs($(this));
});

function toggleInputs(element) {
    if (element.prop('checked')) {
        $('#tb1').prop('disabled', false);
        $('#tb2').prop('disabled', false);
        $('#tb3').prop('disabled', false);
    } else {
        $('#tb1').prop('disabled', true);
        $('#tb2').prop('disabled', true);
        $('#tb3').prop('disabled', true);
    }
}

Here you go... Actually using jquery as your question asked:

HTML

<form>
    <input type="checkbox" name="detailsgiven" id="checker" checked=checked>Enabled?
    <br>
    <input type='text' name="details" id="tb1" value='box1'>
    <br>
    <input type='text' name="details" id="tb2" value='box2'>
    <br>
    <input type='text' name="details" id="tb3" value='box3'>
    <br>
</form>

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function() {
   toggleInputs($('#checker'));
   $('#checker').click(function () {
       toggleInputs($(this));
    });
});

function toggleInputs(element) {
    if (element.prop('checked')) {
        $('#tb1').prop('disabled', false);
        $('#tb2').prop('disabled', false);
        $('#tb3').prop('disabled', false);
    } else {
        $('#tb1').prop('disabled', true);
        $('#tb2').prop('disabled', true);
        $('#tb3').prop('disabled', true);
    }
}

When the initial call is made the elements in the body are not yet loaded. You can wrap the first call to toggleInputs in a JQuery ready event function or place the script tag that includes test.js after the form.
