Using jquery to get all checked checkboxes with a

Question

I know I can get all checked checkboxes on a page using this:

$('input[type=checkbox]').each(function () {
    var sThisVal = (this.checked ? $(this).val() : "");
});

But I am now using this on a page that has some other checkboxes that I don't want to include. How would I change the above code to only look at checked checkboxes that have a certain class on them?

Answer 1

$('.theClass:checkbox:checked') will give you all the checked checkboxes with the class theClass.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it helps for your particular case, and I'm not sure if in your case, the checkboxes you want to include only are all part of a single form or div or table, but you can always select all checkboxes inside a specific element. For example:

<ul id="selective">
 <li><input type="checkbox" value="..." /></li>
 <li><input type="checkbox" value="..." /></li>
 <li><input type="checkbox" value="..." /></li>
 <li><input type="checkbox" value="..." /></li>
</ul>

Then, using the following jQuery, it ONLY goes through the checkboxes within that UL with id="selective":

$('#selective input:checkbox').each(function () {
 var sThisVal = (this.checked ? $(this).val() : "");
});

I know this has a bunch of great answers on this question already but I found this while browsing around and I find it really easy to use. Thought I'd share for anyone else looking.

HTML:

<fieldset>
    <!-- these will be affected by check all -->
    <div><input type="checkbox" class="checkall"> Check all</div>
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
    <!-- these won't be affected by check all; different field set -->
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
    <div><input type="checkbox"> Checkbox</div>
</fieldset>

jQuery:

$(function () {
    $('.checkall').on('click', function () {
        $(this).closest('fieldset').find(':checkbox').prop('checked', this.checked);
    });
});

If you need to get the value of all checked checkboxes as an array:

let myArray = (function() {
    let a = [];
    $(".checkboxes:checked").each(function() {
        a.push(this.value);
    });
    return a;
})()

Answer 5

You can use something like this:
HTML:

<div><input class="yourClass" type="checkbox" value="1" checked></div>
<div><input class="yourClass" type="checkbox" value="2"></div>
<div><input class="yourClass" type="checkbox" value="3" checked></div>
<div><input class="yourClass" type="checkbox" value="4"></div>

JQuery:

$(".yourClass:checkbox").filter(":checked")

It will choose values of 1 and 3.

Answer 6

<input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox1" class = "chk" value = "1" />
<input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox2" class = "chk" value = "2" />
<input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox3" class = "chk" value = "3" />
<input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox4" class = "chk" value = "4" />
<input type="button" id="demo" value = "Demo" />

<script type = "text/javascript" src = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $("#demo").live("click", function () {
        $("input:checkbox[class=chk]:checked").each(function () {
            alert("Id: " + $(this).attr("id") + " Value: " + $(this).val());
        });
    });
</script>
