Save checked checkboxes javascript

Question

I have a Website at work which is being used As a settings page. It contains about 200 checkboxes. Is there an easy way to somehow Save the checkboxes which are checked and send them to a coworker for him to be able to automaticaly get the correct settigns? I was able to find a javascript which after enterin in the adress bar checked/unchecked all and thought that there might be an elegant way to check the needed ones instantly.

Answer 1

This is pretty hacky, and all console based, but you could do something like this...

Each checkbox would have to have a name... or replace name for id...

var arr = [];
$('input:checked').each(function(){
    arr.push($(this).attr('name'));
});

Then you could take the output of arr and give him that with a short script to check the boxes.

var arr = ["name1"];
arr.forEach(function(v){
    $('input[name="'+v+'"]').prop('checked',true);
});

I hope this helps.
