Does jQuery have a collect method
var selected = new Array();
        $(".client_associates_users input:checked").each(function(index) {
            selected.push($(this).val());
        });

var selected = $(".client_associates_users input:checked").map(function(index) {
    return this.value;
}).get();

var $checkboxes = $(".client_associates_users input:checked"),
    selected = $checkboxes.map(function(i){
        return $checkboxes.eq(i).val();
    }).get();

var $checkboxes = $(".client_associates_users input:checked"),
    selected = $.map($checkboxes, function(el,i){
        return $checkboxes.eq(i).val();
    });
