Inserting multiple tick boxes into one database field

as the question says, I am trying to insert one or more tick box values into one database field, preferably in a comma delimited format.

So if the user cho开发者_开发百科oses tick box one and tick box two, the input into the database will be inserted as tickOne, tickTwo, etc etc

How could I go about doing that? Maybe using jQuery or Javascript?

Thanx in advance!

If you want to pass the values as a string, say comma delimited like you mentioned in jquery you could set the value using .map(), like this:

$(".mySelector:checkbox").change(function() {
  var values = $(".mySelector:checkbox:checked").map(function() {
                 return this.value;
               }).get().join(', ');
  $("#myHiddenInput").val(values);
});

Every time a checkbox changes, it'll re-do the string portion, re-serializing the result, so on postback it should be the current UI selection. .map() gets an array of the values of the :checked elements with your mySelector class, then we're just doing a .join() to convert that array into a string and using .val() to set the hidden input for this to that string.

This assumes markup like this:

<input type="checkbox" class="mySelector" value="tickOne" />
<input type="checkbox" class="mySelector" value="tickTwo" />
....
<input type="hidden" id="myHiddenInput" />

You can give it a try here
