Question

I have a simple form as

<form method="post" action="target.php">
<input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

I want to read checkboxes from atable. Thus, checkbox input is outside the <form> as

<input type="checkbox" name="tick[]" value="'.$value.'" />

What is the simplest jQuery action to read the values checked and send them via POST by the form?

P.S. Since I have form for each row in the table, I cannot put the entire table within <form> tag.

Try this – I didn’t test it though.

$("input[name^=tick]:checked").each(function() {
    $(this).val()  // this line should contain the value of each checked checkbox, you can use it as you want
});
