Question

I need to get the value of the first checkbox which is checked and who’s class name begins with ‘rqc’, eg. rqc205

I have tried this: requestID=$('#requestsTable').find('input[class^='rqc']:checked').val();

but it yields nothing, whereas requestID=$('#requestsTable').find('input:checked').val(); works but does not limit to the class.

Answer 1

You have a syntax error. Either fix your quotes around the attribute value, or remove them altogether (they don’t seem to be required).

requestID = $('#requestsTable').find("input[class^='rqc']:checked").val();

or

requestID = $('#requestsTable').find("input[class^=rqc]:checked").val();
