Question

I have a table like below

<table id="mytable">
<tr><th>checked</th><th>id</th><th>text</th></tr>
<tr><td><input id="cb1" type="checkbox" name="checker1"/></td><td>123</td><td>abc</td></tr>
<tr><td><input id="cb1" type="checkbox" name="checker1"/></td><td>456</td><td>def</td></tr>
<tr><td><input id="cb1" type="checkbox" name="checker1"/></td><td>789</td><td>ghi</td></tr>
</table>

I want to retrieve (using jquery) a javascript array of all checked ID’s in the table.

So far I have the following jquery code which on the click of the jqcc button brings me an alert box for each of the checked items, so instead of alert, i need to retrieve the value of the second td and add it to an array,

$(document).ready(function() {
    var tableControl= document.getElementById('mytable');
    $('#jqcc').click(function() {
        $('input:checkbox:checked', tableControl).each(function() {
            alert('checked');
        });
    });
});

You should do

$(document).ready(function() {
    var tableControl= document.getElementById('mytable');
   var arrayOfValues = [];
    $('#jqcc').click(function() {
        $('input:checkbox:checked', tableControl).each(function() {
            arrayOfValues.push($(this).closest('tr').find('td:last').text());
        }).get();
    });
});

arrayOfValues will hold the text inside the last td.

EDIT of course you could also use map

$(document).ready(function() {
    var tableControl= document.getElementById('mytable');
   var arrayOfValues = [];
    $('#jqcc').click(function() {
          arrayOfValues =  $('input:checkbox:checked', tableControl).map(function() {
            return $(this).closest('tr').find('td:last').text();
        });
    });
});
