        Read the original article
        Hit count: 211
        
So I have these checkboxes:
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="4" />
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="3" />
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="type" value="5" />
And so on. There are about 6 of them and are hand-coded (i.e not fetched from a db) so they are likely to remain the same for a while.
My question is how I can get them all in an array (in javascript), so I can use them while making an AJAX $.post request using Jquery.
Any thoughts?
Edit: I would only want the selected checkboxes to be added to the array
