Question

I have a table where each rows has a check box.

This code works for another table:

    jQuery('#my_table_id tr').has(':checkbox:checked').closest('tr').each(function() {
      request_arr[i] = jQuery(this).attr('id');
      i++;
    });

Now in this case, I have a table object:

    var tbl = $('#my_table') // In my code, this is done dynamically

    // This does not work
    jQuery(tbl + 'tr').has(':checkbox:checked').closest('tr').each(function() {
      request_arr[i] = jQuery(this).attr('id');
      i++;
    });

How can I get checked rows using a table object like tbl?
I’ve tried various drilldowns, but I can’t get any to work.

Update

This is how I’ve set up my html:

<table id="t1"></table>

<div class="bulk_action">
  <div title="Remove requests" class="trash_iconset_grey_16px removeRequest"></div>
  <div title="some other button" class="abc"></div>
</div>

<table id="t2"></table>

<div class="bulk_action">
  <div title="Remove requests" class="trash_iconset_grey_16px removeRequest"></div>
  <div title="some other button" class="abc"></div>
</div>

Clicking the “button” below table 1, will set tbl = <table id="t1">.

@elcanrs solution will also fetch checked rows in table nr 2. I only want checked rows for table nr 1.

Answer 1

jQuery(tbl + 'tr') is the same as $($('#my_table') + 'tr') which makes no sense. Do this instead:

tbl.find('tr')
