I don't want to listen for the event of the switch being toggled, instead I want to use JavaScript to check it's current checked state.

<input type=checkbox name=pushtoggle state=true data-role=none>

I have this simple JavaScript to check the checked value:

if ($('#pushtoggle').is(':checked')){ alert('checked'); } else { alert('not checked');}

No matter which state (on or off) the switch is set to I always get the alert that it is not checked.

I initialized the toggle switch using:

$([name='pushtoggle']).bootstrapSwitch();

I also tried setting the checked attribute within the input tag. Nothing works to get me the correct state of the switch.

You don't have any element with id = pushtoggle but you're using an id selector.

Try with this

if ($('[name=pushtoggle]').is(':checked')){ 

  alert('checked'); 

} 

else { 

  alert('not checked');

}
