jQuery Forum

i've not tested the code so sorry if i've fumbled this, but something
like...
var a = [];
$('input.emailAddress').each(function(i){
a.push( $(this).val() );
});
should build an array of addresses you can a.join(", ")

except i haven't answered your question, have i. :x
as long as the mail link is only ever going to perform one function,
i'd just stick a function call in the onclick event of the anchor.

and you'd probably want to add :checked onto the end of the selector
too. ;)

Hey Ryan!
Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it.
I've got this now:
<input type="checkbox" name="CMStudent_IDs" value="some@email.com" /></
td>
    <a class="blue_button" id="mail"><span>Email Selected Students</
span></a>
$("input[name='CMStudent_IDs']").click(function(){
                var mylink = [];
                $("input[name='CMStudent_IDs':checked]").each(function(i){
                 mylink.push($(this).val());
                });
                $("a#mail").setAttr("href", "mailto:" + mylink.join
(","));
});
However it doesn't seem to work for me, I check a couple of the
checkboxes but the link is never given an href so clicking it does
nothing. Can you spot anything out of sorts with the code?
Many thanks mate,
Rob

Here's a quick example i whipped up (and works)

To note about your code, "setAttr" isn't a jQuery call, it's ".attr"

MorningZ,
That works a real treat! Thank you very much indeed!!!
One thing further I'd like to pick your brains on. I have a 'select
all' script which works like this:
    $(".select_all_cm").click(function() {
var checked_status = this.checked;
$("input[name=CMStudent_IDs]").each(function()
{
this.checked = checked_status;
});
});
However, using this doesn't trigger the change() event on the
checkboxes, is there another event we can bind to that function
that'll be triggers by the select_all as well?
Thanks mate,
Rob

Here's some revised code with a "Check All" option

Good man!
Thank you a great deal!
