Question

If I do this:

var inputs = $('input[name="ch_attachments[featured][]"]');

How do I find inputs that are checked from the object inputs?

I’ve tried:

var checked_inputs = $(inputs, ":checked");

and

var checked_inputs = $(inputs).find(":checked");

Both didn’t work. Before you answer I cannot use

var checked_inputs = $('input[name="ch_attachments[featured][]"]:checked');

as this processing is done in a function where only inputs is passed so I need to find the checked inputs from only using the object inputs.

Answer 1

You can use filter for this.

var $inputs = $('input[name="ch_attachments[featured][]"]');
$inputs = $inputs.filter(':checked');
alert($inputs.length);
