Question

I’m looking to do this with one line of code.

    var a = '';
    $('#MyDivs div').each(function (){a+=this.id+',';});
    a = a.substring(0,a.length-1);// remove the last comma

I though something like this would do it, but to no avail. Am I on the right tracks??

    $('#MyDivs div[id]').join(', ');

Here you go in one line:

var a = $('#MyDivs div[id]').map(function(){ return this.id }).get().join(', ');
