Question

Here is the following example http://jsfiddle.net/coderslay/FBcKP/

I have a div like this

<div id="test">
  <label>aaaaaaaaaaaa</label>
  <label>bbbbbbbbbbbb</label>
  <label>cccccccccccc</label>
  <label>dddddddddddd</label>
</div>

And the jquery i have written to get the contents is here

var values = $('#test').find('label').text()

I need to get the values as an array containing aaaaaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbb,ccccccccc,ddddddddd
How to do that using jquery?

Answer 1

You can use map method.

var arr = $('#test label').map(function(){
   return $(this).text();
   // return this.textContent || this.innerText
}).get();
