Question

I have the following selector:

var abc = $("input[id^= 'country']");

It returns details from five input checkboxes with names starting with country. What I want to do is to take the value of these checkboxes and put them into an array that’s something like:

var array1 = ['true', 'false', 'true', 'true', 'true'];

Is there an easy way to do this. I’ve tried all different combinations but without luck

Answer 1

You are looking for the map function.

var array1 = jQuery.map(abc, function (a) { return a.val(); });
