How to store an attribute of all input(checkbox) elements in Javascript?

I am trying to store the name attribute of all the checkboxes in a page, in some sort of array/data structure.

How do I go about doing this?

<input name="sam开发者_开发技巧ple" type="checkbox" value="" align="left" />
<input name="sample2" type="checkbox" value="" align="left" />

The name attribute will be unique. Any idea on how to go about doing this?

You can use .map() to get properties of a set of elements and into an array, like this:

var arr = $("input[type=checkbox]").map(function() { return this.name; }).get();

There are slimmer selectors, like input:checkbox or even :checkbox, but they are much slower.

var store_them_here = [];
$(':checkbox').each(function(i, e) {
    store_them_here.push($(e).attr('name'));
})

Try

var result_array = [];
jQuery(':checkbox').each( function(index, Element){
  result_array.push(jQuery(this).attr('name'));
})
