How to get a count of all checked checkboxes on a page
<p>I want to count how many checkboxes a user has selected. For example, from a group of 10 checkboxes if he selects 5, then I want to be able to count it. Using the line:</p>

<pre><code>$(":checkbox:checked")
</code></pre>

<p>I can select all of the checked checkboxes, is there a way to get the count of all the elements that are returned by that statement as well?</p>
