Getting all selected checkboxes in an array

Question

So I have these checkboxes    lt input type  checkbox  name  type  value  4    gt   lt input type  checkbox  name  type  value  3    gt   lt input type  checkbox  name  type  value  1    gt   lt input type  checkbox  name  type  value  5    gt    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

Use commented if block to prevent add values which has already in array if you use button click or something to run the insertion

$('#myDiv').change(function() {_x000D_
  var values = [];_x000D_
  {_x000D_
    $('#myDiv :checked').each(function() {_x000D_
      //if(values.indexOf($(this).val()) === -1){_x000D_
      values.push($(this).val());_x000D_
      // }_x000D_
    });_x000D_
    console.log(values);_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});

<div id="myDiv">_x000D_
  <input type="checkbox" name="type" value="4" />_x000D_

In Javascript it would be like this  Demo Link       get selected checkboxes function getSelectedChbox frm      var selchbox         array that will store the value of selected checkboxes      gets all the input tags in frm  and their number   var inpfields   frm getElementsByTagName  input      var nr inpfields   inpfields length       traverse the inpfields elements  and adds the value of selected  checked  checkbox in selchbox   for var i 0  i lt nr inpfields  i          if inpfields i  type     checkbox   amp  amp  inpfields i  checked    true  selchbox push inpfields i  value         return selchbox

If you want to use a vanilla JS  you can do it similarly to a  zahid-ullah  but avoiding a loop     var values      filter call document getElementsByName  fruits      function c        return c checked       map function c        return c value          The same code in ES6 looks a way better   var values      filter call document getElementsByName  fruits       c    gt  c checked  map c   gt  c value      x000D   x000D  window serialize   function serialize     x000D    var values      filter call document getElementsByName  fruits      function c    x000D      return c checked  x000D       map function c    x000D      return c value  x000D        x000D    document getElementById  serialized   innerText   JSON stringify values   x000D    x000D  label   x000D    display  block  x000D    x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  fruits    value  banana  gt Banana x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  fruits    value  apple  gt Apple x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  fruits    value  peach  gt Peach x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  fruits    value  orange  gt Orange x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   lt label gt  x000D     lt input type  checkbox  name  fruits    value  strawberry  gt Strawberry x000D   lt  label gt  x000D   lt button onclick  serialize    gt Serialize x000D   lt  button gt  x000D   lt div id  serialized  gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Another way of doing this with vanilla JS in modern browsers  no IE support  and sadly no iOS Safari support at the time of writing  is with FormData getAll     var formdata     new FormData document getElementById  myform     var allchecked   formdata getAll  type        type  is the input name in the question     allchecked is   1   3   4   5    -- if indeed all are checked

Using Jquery   You only need to add class to every input  i have add class  source  you can change it of course   lt input class  source  type  checkbox  name  type  value  4    gt   lt input class  source  type  checkbox  name  type  value  3    gt   lt input class  source  type  checkbox  name  type  value  1    gt   lt input class  source  type  checkbox  name  type  value  5    gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt    document  ready function         var selected value          initialize empty array          source checked   each function            selected value push   this  val                 console log selected value     Press F12 to see all selected values      lt  script gt
