I need to loop through all of these in JQuery and create an array of the names of the ones that are checked. How would I do this?

Answer 1

var names = [];
$("checkbox:checked").each(function(){
   names.push($(this).attr("name"));
})

you might want to add a div around the checkboxes you want this done to, so that you dont loop through ALL checkboxes on the screen.

if you did this the selector would change to:

$("#mydiv checkbox:checked")

where mydiv is the id of that div
