use jQuery to get values of selected checkboxes

Question

I want to loop through the checkboxgroup \'locationthemes\' and build a string with all selected values. So when checkbox 2 and 4 are selected the result would be: \"3,8\"

Answer 1

$('input:checkbox[name=locationthemes]:checked').each(function() 
{
   // add $(this).val() to your array
});

Working Demo

OR

Use jQuery's is() function:

$('input:checkbox[name=locationthemes]').each(function() 
{    
    if($(this).is(':checked'))
      alert($(this).val());
});
