Set multi checkbox element with jQuery

[deant]

Hi,

New day brings a new challenge. Hers is my problem: In repeat group I have dbjoin element and multi checkboxes. When user select Item in dbjoin element in same group I like to set checkbox element depending on Ajax result. I can get the proper values for checkbox element...but I can't find proper method to set which checkbox is checked. Here is what I have for now:

// console.log(value_chk);  // from userAjax we get ["1","3"]

for (var i = 0; i < value_chk.lenght; i++) {
        jQuery('input[type=checkbox]' + elem_chk.element.id + '[value="'+value_chk[i]+'"]').prop('checked', true);
}

Any sugestions?

I found a solution...

What we get from userAjax e.g. ["1","2", "4"] convert to JS array. JS array looks something like (3) ["1", "2", "4"] it is very similar as JSON data but it is not the same.

So if anybody need a solution here is the code:

var my_array = ["1", "2", "4"];
jQuery.each(my_array, function (index, value) {
     jQuery('#my_table_123_repeat___my_checkbox_' + repeat + ' [value="' + value.toString() + '"]').prop("checked", true);
});

Another thing to mention is s space between ' and [value.... I spent 2 hours to to find it.

If your element not in repeat group

jQuery('#my_table_123_repeat___my_checkbox [value="' + value.toString() + '"]').prop("checked", true);
