Question

I want to redirect to another page when a checkbox is clicked.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery(".cbno").click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        alert('test');
        alert(this.val());
//      window.location = this.val();
    });
});
//-->
</script>

<input type="checkbox" class="cbno" name="content" value="/map/?filter=all" />

Pretty simple – but I cannot figure out why the second alert does not produce any output?
Internet Explorer says: “The object does not support the method val”.

It works if I use this.getAttribute(‘value’) – why does it not work with the jquery val()?

Answer 1

use

alert(jQuery(this).val());
