how to get the value of a checked checkbox

Question

I have a form like below:

 <form id="toppings_div" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="355"> <tr> <td> <input type="checkbox" value="Cheese" /> <label>Extra cheese</label> </td></tr></table></from>

I was just wondering how I can get to the value of the checkbox if it's checked.

thanks

 alert($('#toppings_div').children().children().children().children(':checked').val());

using the code above gives me an undefined answer,

thanks

$('#toppings_div input:checkbox:checked').val() is all that's needed. The > in the selector means direct descendant of.

This will get you the value of the first checked input on your page, make sure that's what you want.
