How to enable a checkbox using AUI script

Question

This is the code to get the value of a checkbox

         var email = A.one("#<portlet:namespace/>email").attr('checked');

What is the code to set/enable the checkbox with a tick ?

         A.one("#<portlet:namespace/>email").prop('checked', email); //this does not work
         A.one("#<portlet:namespace/>email").set('value', email);//this also does not work

Many thanks

You can use Node#set:

A.one("#<portlet:namespace/>email").set('checked', true);

Or you can use Node#setAttribute:

A.one("#<portlet:namespace/>email").setAttribute('checked', true);
