checkbox value in jquery

Question

i'm using Mvc checkbox.

by default the rendering a checkbox like below.

<input id="tets" type="checkbox" value="true" name="test"/>
<input type="hidden" value="false" name="test"/>

so whn itry to access

$("#tets").val() returns true, but defaultly it is false.

Any idea how to access checkbox using jquery

Is the "#tets" typo also in your actual code? $("#test").val() should be all you need to access the checkbox value. — Lobstrosity

I think you'd have to do it like this:

var value = $('#test:checked').length ? $('#test').val() : $('input[name=test]').eq(1).val();

Or written a different way

var value = $('input[name=test]').eq(!$('#test:checked').length).val();

A solution that worked for me when selecting by name is:

$('[input[name="test"]')[0].checked

but selecting by id, as per your example:

$('#test').checked

should work also.

My first example was tested in FF and IE
