Get checkbox value in jQuery

Question

How can I get a checkbox's value in jQuery?

Answer 1

Use the code given below, to get the value of the Value attribute :

$("input[type='checkbox']").val();

Or if you have set a class or id for it, you can:

$('#check_id').val();

$('.check_class').val();

This will return the same value whether it is checked or not, this can be confusing as it is different from the submitted form behavior.

Try using the code given below to check whether it is checked or not:

if ($('#check_id').is(":checked"))

{

  // it is checked

}
