How can I use jquery to select the checkbox that has an array value in its attribute name?
html,
<input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="1"/>
My attempt that does not work,
$('input:checkbox[name=delete]',container).not('input:checkbox[disabled=disabled]').prop('checked', true);
Any ideas?
You can do this:
$('input:checkbox[name^=delete]',container)
or this:
$('input:checkbox[name="delete[]"]',container)
or this:
$('input:checkbox[name=delete\\[\\]]',container)
In this case, since you're checking an attribute value, you can just wrap the value in double quotes (anything within the quotes is treated literally):
$('input:checkbox[name="delete[]"]')
Or more generally, escape the special characters:
$('input:checkbox[name=delete\\[\\]]');
The method for escaping, and the list of special characters, is covered at the start of the documentation for Selectors.
