This is probably a really simple jQuery question, but I couldn’t answer it after 10 minutes in the documentation so…
I have a list of checkboxes, and I can get them with the selector 'input[type=checkbox]'. I want the user to be able to shift-click and select a range of checkboxes. To accomplish this, I need to get the index of a checkbox in the list, so I can pass that index to .slice(start, end). How do I get the index when the user clicks a box?
The following selector should also work in jQuery:
input:checkbox.You can then string the
:gt(index)and:lt(index)filters together, so if you want the 5th to 7th checkboxes, you’d useinput:checkbox:gt(4):lt(2).To get the index of the currently clicked checkbox, just use
$('input:checkbox').index($(this)).
