Question

e.g.

<div class="myclass" id="div_1"></div>
<div class="myclass" id="div_2"></div>
<div class="notmyclass" id="div_3"></div>

I’d like to end up with array something like [“div_1″,”div_2”]

Answer 1

After selecting $(".myclass"), you can use the .map() method ^[docs] to take the .id of each element. This will return a jQuery array-like object containing the ids.

var ids = $(".myclass").map(function() { return this.id; });

Add .toArray() ^[docs] to the end if you need a real array.
