Question

I have a list of items with checkboxes. I need to send that list (just as I would with a form), to a specific PHP file that erased those checked items, and returns the new list.

<table style="float:left;width:100%">
<tbody>
    <?php foreach ($items as $item): ?>
    <tr>
        <div>
            <td ?>;
                <input type="checkbox" name="item_<?php echo $item['NAME'];?>" value="<?php echo $item['ID'];?>" />
            </td>
        </div>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>

on the other hand I need to have a javascript function ti serialize all these values like a $_POST.
That’s:

    $.get("deleteItems.php", theNeededArray,   function(data){....});

so I need to get that array.

I know this: var checkedItems = $("input:checked");

contains what I need but I need to extract those values into an array that looks like this:

{ item_one: “cardboard” , item_two: “rabbit” , …}

I’d love it if someone could also shed some light on the returned value of jQuery. it seems like bigger object than I thought.

You can simply serialize the form:

$.get("deleteItems.php", $('form').serialize(),   function(data){....});
