Question

What I currently have:

I built html based off options passed into a function to make a list of checkboxes.
http://jsfiddle.net/dan_vitch/NE5LB/2/

What I need:

I need to determine which box(es) were selected by the user(an alert with correct value would be fine for now).
I set up my list with bitwise format in mind, but havent done much with that in the past.

This maybe a case of me providing too little in terms of code and asking for too much in return. If that is true let me know and I will work on providing more code.

Answer 1

Use the checked selector eg:

$(function() {
  $('input[type="button"]').click(function() {
    $('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').each(function(){
      alert(this.id);
    });
  });
});
