Question

I have <ul> like this:

  <ul class="options" id="selt_count">
  <li value="1">One</li>
  <li value="2">Two</li>
  <li value="5">Five</li>
  <li value="12">Other</li>
  </ul>

What I want is to get all values of <li> into variable in the following format (1,2,5,12) in jquery.

Thanks

How about:

var values = $('#selt_count li').map(function() {
    return this.value
});
values; // [1, 2, 5, 12]

To get a string representation you can do:

var s = '(' + values.get().join(',') + ')'; // "(1,2,5,12)"

FYI the value attribute was deprecated a while ago.
