How to get checkbox value when checked and pass it to controller

Question

I have some checkboxes and want to pass their values (value=1) to a controller when they are checked, if not checked just leave it null.

<div  class="col-md-7">
    <div class="checkbox-list" style="padding-top: 8px;">
        <input name="add_content" id="add_content" value="1" type="checkbox" /> 
        <input name="edit_content" id= "edit_content" value="1" type="checkbox" /> 
    </div>
</div>

save: function () {
    var self = this;
    var id = $("#in_id").val();
    var add_content = $("[add_content='add_content']").val();
    var edit_content = $("[edit_content='edit_content']").val();

    KeyWord.updateUser(id, add_content, edit_content, delete_content, manage_user, view_log, function (data) {
        alert("data saved succesfully.");
    }, function (error) {
        jqXhrErr(error);
    });
}

var KeyWord = function () {
    var url_update = "api/user/Update";
    return {
        updateUser: function (id, add_content, edit_content, done, fail, always)  {
            var jqxhr = $.post(url_update, { 
                id: id, 
                add_content: add_content, 
                edit_content: edit_content
            });
            return jqXhrHandler(jqxhr, done, fail, always);
        }
    }
}();

The problem is that the controller only gets non-checkbox value but it does not receive checkbox value when they check?

Any error here?

no, just pass its value to controller.Other input values such as text send to controller successfully and only check box did not work for me — Saif, Nov 26 '15 at 16:25
try to replace $("[edit_content='edit_content']").val(); with $("#add_content").val(); same for edit — Farhan, Nov 26 '15 at 16:27

replace following code

var add_content = $("[add_content='add_content']").val();
var edit_content = $("[edit_content='edit_content']").val();

with

var add_content = 0;
var edit_content = 0;
if($("#add_content").is(":checked")){
add_content = 1;

}
if($("#edit_content").is(":checked")){
edit_content = 1;
}
