jQuery submit

[Joe Stela]

Hello,

I want to get the employee nos from selected checkbox,but I am getting it as null .

Below is my code.

I am selecting multiple employees from check box and then clicking on one button. The button has clickFunction() as below which is just submitting the form.
I am trying to submit the Form using jquery submit and employeeForm is the id of form field

function clickFunction(){
$('#employeeForm').submit();
}

After submit I am going to one jsp and trying to get the checkbox selected values in that jsp using request.getParameterValues("employeeList");
employeeList is name of my checkbox.

But I am getting null. Please let me know if I am missing something.

Is the checkbox checked?

Use the browser's debugger to look at the request. It will show you whether the request parameter is encoded into the body (for a POST) or the URL (for a GET).

I am using firebug...but its not showing me anything related to this request, though its showing me data related to other requests.

The debugger in Chrome and Safari has a Network tab that show all activity. I primarily use Chrome/Safari for developing these days as I think the debugger is better.

Hi Joe,
Also make sure you are checking the checkbox in your function like:

$("#fieldID").attr("checked", "checked");

Show you html markup.

That does not do any checking -- it sets the element's checked attribute.
