How do I use jQuery to omit the "Select All" check box from the list of elements sent to the server?

Question

When the "Select All" check box is used, it also sends that check box and it's value to the server. How do I remove or omit it from the node list before sending it to the server using jQuery?

Thank You.

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to not give it a name :)

<input type="checkbox" />

Answer 2

You're looking for the remove function:

$('#someId').remove();

However, it will not do anything if the user has Javascript disabled.

I highly recommend that you change the server-side code to ignore that checkbox.

Answer 3

Try this:

$(".checkbox :not[id=chkcheckAll]").each(function(){//what needs to be done});

Assuming the id for Check all checkbox is chkCheckAll.
