Select the ids from an array of jquery elements

Question

With the following jquery statement I select an array of elements:

selectedSupplierIds = $('.supplierListCheckbox:checked');

I need to select the ids from these elements. Can I do this without creating an array and pushing the ids in a for loop?

Answer 1

You can use .map() to get an array of anything based on your object selection...in this case your just want the .id property from each, like this:

var arr = $('.supplierListCheckbox:checked').map(function() { 
            return this.id; 
          }).get();
