Get checked checkboxes in jQuery

get checked checkboxes in jquery


In this post we are going to see how to get all the checked checkboxes using jQuery. Some time in asp.net applications we need to do operations at client side on controls like checkboxes, dropdown list, buttons…etc. Here we will see how to access checkboxes at client side using jQuery and how to get checked checkboxes. To get the checked checkboxes, jQuery provides selector :checked.

Sample code to get all checked checkboxes[jQuery – ASP.Net]

<input value="1" checked type="checkbox" name="numbers" />
<input value="2" type="checkbox" name="numbers" />
<input value="3" checked type="checkbox" name="numbers" />

Now to get only the checked checkboxes we will use below line of code that will store all the checked checkboxes as an array.


$checkedCheckboxes = $("input:checkbox[name=numbers]:checked");;

We can iterate though the checked checkbox array using .each and perform some operations or can get or set values to checkboxes.


var selectedValues="";
$checkedCheckboxes.each(function () {
selectedValues +=  $(this).val() +",";
});
);

Let's put all above code togather

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var selectedValues="";
$checkedCheckboxes = $("input:checkbox[name=numbers]:checked");
$checkedCheckboxes.each(function () {
selectedValues +=  $(this).val() +",";
});
alert(selectedValues);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<input value="1" checked type="checkbox" name="numbers" />
<input value="2" type="checkbox" name="numbers" />
<input value="3" checked type="checkbox" name="numbers" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

//Output
//1,3

In JavaScript strings IndexOf() function is used to find position of specified character in the string. When IndexOf() method is used in javascript it returns position of first occurrence of the given character. If specified character is not found in string then it returns –1 value.

<script type="text/javascript">
function GetStringIndex() { 
var str="Javascript IndexOf Method.";
document.write( "a is at position"+ str.indexOf("a") + "<br />");
document.write("IndexOf is at position"+ str.indexOf("IndexOf") + "<br />");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="return GetStringIndex();" />

Split string JavaScript

split string in javascript
In JavaScript we need to split the string to perform some operations on string. JavaScript uses Split() method to split the given string in JavaScript. Split() method basically split string into array of substrings and generates new array.

String split Syntax:


string.split(separator, limit)

Here separator is a character by which we want to separate string. and limit is to give up to how many number split the string.

Sample to split string [JavaScript]


<script type="text/javascript">
 function splitString()
 {
  var str="Split Javascript String";
  document.write(str.split(" "));
 }
</script> 


//Output
//Split, Javascript, String

In above example of string split, we give space(“ ”) character to split the string with. so it splits the string with “ “ and returns array with substrings.
