Ideally, your checkboxes have a value equal to the text you want to search for.

So you can use the jQuery queries

$("input[type='checkbox'][value*='Teste']")

For example

Look at the operator *= of the query, this is the same as "contains" or it looks for any part of your string. If you wanted it to be exactly the same text, use =.

Edited

In case of using the data-text would be 

$("input[type='checkbox'][data-text*='texto']")

  • cool, instead of putting text equal to id, can I use a date attribute ? example data-text="CA" ? if yes, how would it look?

  • @Henriquedpereira see my reply issue.

  • very good, that’s what I wanted, vlw.

You can do it this way:

$(":checkbox").filter(function() {
  return this.value == '5';
}).prop("checked","true");

or 

$("input[type=checkbox][value=5]").prop("checked",true);​
