Sorry for the bad title.. I am trying to figure out a workaround to this fairly simple problem I am having.
HTML
<input type="text" name="test[description][]" / >
<input type="checkbox" name="test[confirm][]" value="1" / >
The html can be cloned by jquery..the problem I am having is that the checkbox wont post unless it's checked (this is what it's supposed to do I know). This messes up my PHP to check the checkbox index to see if it's checked.. if you clone this 3 times then leave the middle checkbox unchecked..but check the first and last.. the last checkbox gets index of 2 when it want it to be 3.
any suggestions are appreciated thank you.
I don't think you can do it the way you're trying to do it. There's no way to differentiate which checkboxes were checked as written. You can either:
1) Encode the position in the element name.
2) Create hidden fields, which will be sent, to record the checked/unchecked value. Initialize with something like:
<input id="hidden-1" type="hidden" name="test[description][]" value="0" />
<input id="check-1" type="checkbox" />
<script>
$('#check-1').click(function() {
var $hidden = $('#hidden-1');
$hidden.val(hidden.val() == 0 ? 1 : 0);
}
</script>
If the number is dynamic, you could encapsulate all that to generate the bindings dynamically as well.
