Question

I am trying to get an array of checkboxes that ARE checked AND have a certain attribute (tag) that is NOT blank.

(I know that the attribute called tag is not HTML compliant but it does work across the major browsers and makes life alot simpler!)

e.g.

<input type="checkbox" name="First" tag="[e-mail]" checked="checked">
<input type="checkbox" name="Second" tag="" checked="checked">

In the above example, only the first one should be in the array
The code I have started with is:

$('input:checkbox:checked')

But that obviously doesnt ensure that the tag attribute is not blank

UPDATE
Sorry, something I didnt think of before – I also need to get a list of the checkboxes whose tag is blank so the user can be warned. The following dont work:

$('input:checkbox:checked[title=""]')
$('input:checkbox:checked:not([title])')

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated!

UPDATE 2

The above code (using title to store the additional data) doesnt work purely it seems because of the title atribute! When I changed it to tag it worked perfectly.

Answer 1

$("input:checkbox[tag!='']:checked")
