Some geeks still do not know about How to get multiple checkbox value in jQuery using array. In this article, we will learn to get multiple checkbox values in jQuery using an array.

Get Multiple Checkbox Value in jQuery

We can use :checked selector in jQuery to select only selected values.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Get Multiple Checkbox Value in jQuery</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <form>
        <h3>Select your favorite programming languages:</h3>
        <label><input type="checkbox" value="Java" name="language"> Java</label>
        <label><input type="checkbox" value="PHP" name="language"> PHP</label>
        <label><input type="checkbox" value="JavaScript" name="language"> JavaScript</label>
        <label><input type="checkbox" value="jQuery" name="language"> jQuery</label>
        <label><input type="checkbox" value="React" name="language"> React</label>
        <br>
        <button type="button">Get Selected Values</button>
    </form>
  <script>
      $(document).ready(function() {
          $("button").click(function(){
              var arr = [];
              $.each($("input[name='language']:checked"), function(){
                  arr.push($(this).val());
              });
              alert("Your favourite programming languages are: " + arr.join(", "));
          });
      });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Explanation

In the above code, we created a group of checkboxes and a button to trigger the function. Using jQuery, we first set an onclick event on the button after the document is loaded.

In the onclick event, we created a function in which we first declared an array named arr. After that, we used a query selector to select all the selected checkboxes. Finally, we print all the vales in an alert box.
