Question

How to take content from a div class one by one and then load it into array? Then I need to insert these one by one to some other div class.
Basically, I have 2 forms, one of which is dummy and this dummy gets its content from CMS. The dummy form is hidden, while real form is shown, but empty at first.
I need to use jquery to take dummy text from form and insert it to real form.

Something like this:

  <form name="real" method="post" action=""> 
  <input type="text" name="first" id="a"/> 
  <input type="text" name="second" id="b"/> 
  <input type="text" name="third" id="c"/> 
  <input type="text" name="fourth" id="d"/> 
  <input type="submit" value="submit"/> 
  </form> 

  <form name="extract" style="display:none;"> 
  <div class="generic">data_1</div> 
  <div class="generic">data_2</div> 
  <div class="generic">data_3</div> 
  <div class="generic">data_4</div> 
  </form> 

must become something like this:

  <form name="real" method="post" action=""> 
  data_1 <input type="text" name="first" id="a"/> 
  data_2 <input type="text" name="second" id="b"/> 
  data_3 <input type="text" name="third" id="c"/> 
  data_4 <input type="text" name="fourth" id="d"/> 
  <input type="submit" value="submit"/> 
  </form> 

Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

There are many ways to do this. For example:

$('[name=extract] div').each(function(index){
    $('[name=real] input:eq('+index+')').before($(this).text());
});
