Question

It’s possible to retrieve the ‘selected’ buttons in a jquery ui buttonset build with checkboxes (to allow multiselect) with :

$('#format').buttonset();

$('#format').click(function() {
  var text = "";
  $('#format').find('label[aria-pressed|="true"]').each(function() {
      text += $(this).attr("for") + "-";
  });
  $('#selected').html(text); 
});

This is working fine in Chrome, IE, Safari but in Firefox the clicked checkbox is not taken into account. You can check this in jsFiddle.

Try:

$('label.ui-state-active')
