jQuery checkbox values to comma separated list

Question

I have several checkboxes with a name array and I want the output of the checked boxes to be a variable with a comma separated list.

Answer 1

Currently un-tested, but I believe the following should work:

var valuesArray = $('input:checkbox:checked').map( function () {
    return $(this).val();
}).get().join();

Edited, after a small break, to use native DOM, rather than $(this).val() (which is needlessly expensive, in context):

var valuesArray = $('input:checkbox:checked').map( function() {
    return this.value;
}).get().join(",");
