counting checked checkboxes using jquery (keeps returning 0)

I would like to create an alert once too many check boxes have been checked.

Please see the setup here:

At the moment - the alert keep returning 0 - rather than counting the checkboxes...

Any suggestions would be great thanks!

You need to put the length calculation inside the event handler, otherwise it's just going to be calculated once in the start and be 0 constantly.

http://jsfiddle.net/wDbej/6/ - move your variable inside the click function. The way you had it initialized the variable, but didn't update the value on clicking the box.
