Get checkbox value in jQuery
To get the value of the Value attribute you can do something like this:
$("input[type='checkbox']").val();
Or if you have set a class
or id
for it, you can:
$('#check_id').val();
$('.check_class').val();
However this will return the same value whether it is checked or not, this can be confusing as it is different to the submitted form behaviour.
To check whether it is checked or not, do:
if ($('#check_id').is(":checked"))
{
// it is checked
}
Try this small solution:
$("#some_id").attr("checked") ? 1 : 0;
or
$("#some_id").attr("checked") || 0;
Those 2 ways are working:
$('#checkbox').prop('checked')
$('#checkbox').is(':checked')
(thanks @mgsloan)
$('#test').click(function() {
alert("Checkbox state (method 1) = " + $('#test').prop('checked'));
alert("Checkbox state (method 2) = " + $('#test').is(':checked'));
});

Check me: <input id="test" type="checkbox" />
