Question

I have an array with HTML elements from a selector. Looks like this:

var selection = $('.features_items');
// selection = [div.features_item, div.features_item];

The div looks like this:

<div class="features_item selected" value="2">

Now I want to get all values from the div’s in the array: [2,3]

Answer 1

You can use jQuery.map to map the jQuery object to an array in a single step:

var values = $.map(selection, function() {
    return $(this).val();
}); // values is now an array equal in length to 'selection'
