Using jQuery,how do you get the value of a form input?
How do you get the value depends on what type of input it is.

Checkboxes
Here is the HTML for the text input box and the "show selection" link:
For a checkbox input, because there may be multiple selections chosen, you need to
- Locate all checkboxes that are checked, using $('input:checkbox[name='CheckboxName']:checked')
- Loop through the checked checkboxes, using .each
- Append the values of each checked checkbox to each other, using .push
In this example, I pass the name of the checkbox group into the function and "alert" the result. You could easily change this to "return" the value or assign the value to a variable.
