Question

I’ve just learned that we can iterate through all checkboxes in a document, but I’m unclear on how to do anything with the values or properties of the checkboxes found.

Here’s my code:

    function buildrow(){
    $("input[type=checkbox][checked]").each( 
        function() { 
            alert($this.attr('id');//This doesn't work
        } 
    );
}

How do we do pull a value out and do something with it? Such as pull the value for the ID and set it as a variable?

Thanks

function buildrow(){    
    $('input[type=checkbox]:checked').each(function()
    {
        var id = $(this).attr('id');
        // do something with the id..
        alert(id);
    });
}
