Get checkbox value in jQuery

Question

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

Answer 1

$('#checkUFCD').is(':checked');

Answer 2

For you to get the value of the Value attribute just use this code:

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

To set a class or id for it then use this:

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

It's hard to know if it's checked or not as it gives out the same value  so to check whether it is checked or not, do:

if ($('#check_id').is(":checked"))
{
  // it is checked
}

I hope this helps.
