get checked values for jsTree - submit with form post

Question

I\'m using the jsTree jQuery plugin with the checkbox theme. Does anyone know how to get the selected values with a form post?

Thank you!

This I did:

function getSelectedItems()
{
    var checked_ids = [];

    checkedNodes = $("#MyTree").jstree("get_checked", null, true); 

    for(var i = 0; i < checkedNodes.length; i++)
    {
        var id = $(checkedNodes[i].outerHTML)[0].id;

        checked_ids.push(id);
    }

     // Do whatever you want with the checked_ids 
}

This will give you an array of all selected node and their sub nodes and leafs; as well as single leafs selected under other nodes.
