[jQuery] Re: Getting form field values

2009-08-20 Thread ak732

You could do it in a loop using each():

$(input[name^='day']).each(function() {
  if ($(this).is(:checked)) {
 // do whatever
  }
});

 Thu input name=day6 type=checkbox value=fri / Fri input
 name=day7 type=checkbox value=sat / Sat

 When the state of one of them changes I want to check the state of all
 of them. So far I have:
 $(document).ready(function() {
         $(input[name^='day']).change(function () {

         });

 });

 My question is how do I get the value of each of the check boxes? It
 seems like all the commands I see in the jQuery documentation only
 give you the value of the first matched element? Do I have to use some
 sort of for loop? Thanks for the help.

You could use my Values plugin (
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/values ) and do:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $(input[name^=day]).change(function () {
var all = $('input[name^=day]').values();
for (var day in all) {
   if (all[day] !== null) {
   alert(all[day]+' was checked');
   }
}
   });
});

rather than just the value of the first matched one, this will give
you all of their current values in a key-value object.

I'm assuming you want the current value of the checked checboxes. Just
use .serialize()

var inputs = $(input[name^='day']).change(function () {
  console.log(inputs.serialize());
});

the output of serialize() is a query string, just split on '' for an
array of key=value that you can then process further as desired:

var inputs = $(input[name^='day']).change(function () {
  $.each(inputs.serialize().split(''),function(i,d){
   d = d.split('=');
   d[0]; //the key. eg day2
   d[1]; //the value eg mon
  });
});
