• javascript
• jquery
• arrays
• csv
• checkbox

• 2 input elements don't have a rel attribute, either use a standard attribute (e.g. class) or an HTML5 data- attribute. – RobG Commented Jul 18, 2011 at 9:27

var relArr=[];
$("input[type='checkbox']:checked").each(function(){
relArr.push($(this).attr('rel'));
});

here is the working fiddle http://jsfiddle/7zSRQ/

You could do:

var rels = [];

$('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').each(function(){
    var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
    rels.push(rel);
});
//rels is an array you could use rels.join(',') to join the array.
