How do I get a checkbox value

Question

I'm sure this has been asked many times before but I'm not sure what will work for me. I'm pretty JQ illiterate but working on it.

I need to get the checkbox values so that I can process them on the server. Currently, I get a POST value for checked but nothing for unchecked. Can someone please show me how to get the unchecked value?

$(this).next()[0].checked = !$(this).next()[0].checked;
var vals = $(this).next().serializeArray();

This should answer it http://stackoverflow.com/questions/786142/how-to-retrieve-checkboxes-values-in-jquery — bukart, Jan 08 '13 at 19:38

var val = $(this).is(':checked');

Here's a demo fiddle proving it works
