click anywhere on a table row and it will check the checkbox its in...?
Try this one out...
$("tr").click(function() {
var checkbox = $(this).find("input[type='checkbox']");
checkbox.attr('checked', !checkbox.attr('checked'));
});

You don't need JavaScript for this:
td label {
display: block;
}<td width="20px"><input type="checkbox" id="chk2" name="chk2/"></td><td><label for="chk2">2</label></td><td><label for="chk2">2011-04-21 22:04:56</label></td><td><label for="chk2">action</label></td>Just labels and a little CSS.
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectRow(row)
{
var firstInput = row.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
firstInput.checked = !firstInput.checked;
}
</script>
...
<tbody>
<tr onclick="selectRow(this)"><td width="20px"><input type="checkbox" id="chk1" name="chk1/"></td><td>1</td><td>2011-04-21 22:04:56</td><td>action</td></tr>
<tr onclick="selectRow(this)"><td width="20px"><input type="checkbox" id="chk2" name="chk2/"></td><td>2</td><td>2011-04-21 22:04:56</td><td>action</td></tr>
</tbody>
Note: You've also got collisions on ids. Your ids should be unique.
Here's an alternative with programmatic binding:
document.querySelector("table").addEventListener("click", ({target}) => {
// discard direct clicks on input elements
if (target.nodeName === "INPUT") return;
// get the nearest tr
const tr = target.closest("tr");
if (tr) {
// if it exists, get the first checkbox
const checkbox = tr.querySelector("input[type='checkbox']");
if (checkbox) {
// if it exists, toggle the checked property
checkbox.checked = !checkbox.checked;
}
}
});<table>

<input type="checkbox" id="chk1" name="chk1" />
