Question

I am working on a html page. The page has a table with 3 columns and a button. One of the columns of the table is a check box (The number of rows are changed dynamically):

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" class="display" id="tag" width="100%">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td align="center">
                <input type="checkbox" class="case" name="case" value="0"/>
            <td>fruit</td>
            <td>apple</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align="center">
                <input type="checkbox" class="case" name="case" value="1"/>
            <td>fruit</td>
            <td>pear</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p><input type="button" value="Generate" onclick="generate()"></p>

When user click the “Generate” button, the generate() function will generate a special string base on the column of each row.

My question is that how can I check if the “checkbox” row is checked or not? I would like to filter those non-checked rows when I generate the string.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Filter the rows based upon which have a checked checkbox:

var rows = $(".case:checked").closest("tr");

This returns a jQuery object that contains all of your table rows housing checked checkboxes.
