retrieving value of specified checkbox jquery

Question

I am rendering a list of checkboxes with values and want to retrieve these values as I am checking the correlating checkboxes.

{{each Items}}
       <tr>

           <td><input type='checkbox' name='chkRelatedTopics' value='${subject}'/></td>
           <td><label id='labRelatedTopicDisplay'>${subject}</label>
       <tr>

{{/each}}

as I am doing it at the moment I am getting the first value of the first checkbox rendered every time.

$(document).on("click", "input[name=chkRelatedTopics]", function () {

   var nameAdminUser = $("input[name=chkRelatedTopics]").val();
   alert(nameAdminUser);
});

How can I get the value of the subsequent checkbox I am checking?

change this

 $("input[name=chkRelatedTopics]").val();

to

 $(this).val();

you need to get the value of the clicked checkbox for that you can use $(this).val()/this.value inside the click handler as this points to the clicked dom element

if you use $("input[name=chkRelatedTopics]").val() it will return the value of the first element matching the said selector causing it to return the same value regardless of which checkbox was selected

$(document).on("click", "input[name=chkRelatedTopics]", function () {
    var nameAdminUser = $(this).val();
    alert(nameAdminUser);
});
