Question

I’m using the following code to loop through all the checkboxes in my form. The boxes are gerenated dynamicaly from a php script so I won’t know the names or the number of check boxes.

I need to find out which checkboxes have been ticked so I only pass those ones to the php script that handles the form.

 $("#panelform input:checkbox").each(function () {
    if(this.is(":checked")){
    fields = fields+"&"+this.name+"="+this.value;
}
});

When the script gets to the this.is(“:checked”) it errors but being jquery my console doesn’t show me any error messages just stops.

if I alert or console.log “this” after the first line I get the form field so I know that that much works.

Answer 1

try with

 if($(this).is(":checked")){

since this is just a reference to the node in the DOM (and you need instead to use the jQuery wrapper to chain the method is().
