Not sure if it's the *best* way, but it works
I'd do something like
var CheckedIDs = [];
$("input.item_id").each(function() {
if (this.checked) { CheckedIDs.push($(this).attr("value")); }
});
if (CheckedIDs.length == 0) {
alert("Nothing selected!");
}
else {
$.post(
"delete.php",
item_ids: CheckedIDs.join(","),
function(data) {
//Handle the returned results
}
}
"delete.php" will see a comma delimited string of IDs to delete
