I'm assuming you want the current value of the checked checboxes. Just
use .serialize()
var inputs = $("input[name^='day']").change(function () {
console.log(inputs.serialize());
});
the output of serialize() is a query string, just split on '&' for an
array of key=value that you can then process further as desired:
var inputs = $("input[name^='day']").change(function () {
$.each(inputs.serialize().split('&'),function(i,d){
d = d.split('=');
d[0]; //the key. eg day2
d[1]; //the value eg mon
});
});
