Question

Jquery

var g = $("#chav_wc:checked").val();
alert(g);

and.. HTML

<input type="checkbox" id="chav_wc" value="1" /></div>

Works fine, but if checkobx is not checked, returns value as “undefined”. How can I set it to return “0” instead when not checked? Thx.

EDIT (solution)

Solution if someone encounters same challenge (thx 2 Dave & insertusernamehere)..

var g = ($('#chav_wc').is(':checked') ? 1 : 0 );

Answer 1

have you tried:

$('#chav_wc').is(':checked');
