    copied!<p><strong>EDIT</strong> jQuery.inArray kept failing to do string != int comparisons, and this was resolved with the help of ShankarSongoli. Originally it was thought to be a variable scope issue, so please remember to look at all aspects and not just one in any given problem.</p> <pre><code> omit_all_user_contacts = new Array(); add_contacts = new Array(); function is_added_contact(id) { if ( jQuery.inArray(id, add_contacts) == -1 ) return false; return true; } function selectcontacts(userid){ document.getElementById("ic"+userid).checked = true; omit_all_user_contacts.push(userid); var buf = '&lt;table class="contactlist" width="100%"&gt;'; buf = buf + "&lt;tr class='contactlistheader'&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Contact Name&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Company&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Email&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Profession&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; var tmp; jQuery.getJSON('/user/get_user_contacts/'+userid, function(data) { jQuery.each(data.contacts, function(key, value) { buf = buf + "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='checkbox' name='manualcontact[]' onclick='manualcontact(" + value.id + ",this.checked)' "; alert(is_added_contact(value.id)); if ( jQuery.inArray(value.id, add_contacts) &gt; -1 ) { buf = buf + " checked "; } buf = buf + "/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;"; buf = buf + "&lt;td&gt;" + value.firstname + " " + value.lastname + "&lt;/td&gt;"; buf = buf + "&lt;td&gt;" + value.company + "&lt;/td&gt;"; buf = buf + "&lt;td&gt;" + value.email + "&lt;/td&gt;"; buf = buf + "&lt;td&gt;" + value.profession + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; }); buf = buf + '&lt;/table&gt;'; iBox.show(buf); }); } function manualcontact(id,val) { if ( val == true ) { add_contacts.push(id); } else { add_contacts.splice( jQuery.inArray(val, add_contacts), 1 ); } } </code></pre>
