Input type=checkbox empty value ?!

[[dx]]

Hi,

 

I'm trying make some form for user registration, and I have multiple checkboxes for categories.

 

So I'm using:

<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_1"> Category 1<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_2"> Category 2<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_3"> Category 3<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_4"> Category 4etc..

It's all in <form> tag.

 

When I go to console, I can see only value attribute like:

<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value> Category 1

But if I go to view source, there's html as it should be. What can cause it?

 

This is reason why I can't fetch data correctly with .serializeArray().

 

How to solve it?

Can you link the form code

Nothing special, few input fields in <form> ... </form>

There might be some missing quote or something similar in your code. Re-check the code.

<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_1"> Category 1<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_2"> Category 2<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_3"> Category 3<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="category_4"> Category 4

^Works fine

Even work on jsbin or jsfiddle, but not for me. Those value are just empty..

Are you sure you dont have any code php if php generated or javascript manipulating this value attribute.

Are you sure you are not using two single quotes to make double quote by mistake.

Is it saved using utf 8 or 16 encoding.

Hi dsonesuk,

 

Thank your for reply.

 

I tryed both, php generating and static html like value="something".

I'm sure, checked twice, that it's double quotes correctly, and it's utf8.

can you upload the file containing that code?

Are you expecting to access an array category[], because category[] is just your checkbox name.

 

What are you applying .serializeArray() to?
