Question

So I have a few inputs with the name session and they increment…. session0 session1 session2.
If I want to run them through a loop how would I do that. I’m using jquery.

for example..

for(i=0,i<10,i++)
{
var num = (session + i).value + i;
}

So what I want is the loop to go through all the inputs with prefix session and output their values to a variable. This out put could go into a array.
if array obviously would look more like.

num[i] = stuff+i;

thanks.

Okay well I ended up going with the JavaScript. Thanks for all the help it works great. here was the final code.

function get()
{
var alldata;
var values = [];
      $("input[name^='media']").each(function(i, anInput) {
        var check = values[i] = $(anInput).attr('checked');
        if(check == true)
        {
        var ID = "session" + i;
        var type = $(anInput).attr('value');
        if(i > 9)
        {
        var cont = "#ex"+ i;
        }
        else{
        var cont = "select[name='" + ID + "']";
        }
        var scope = $(cont).attr('value');
        if(!alldata)
        {
        alldata = type + ': ' + scope + ' ';
        }
        else
        alldata =  alldata + ' ' + type + ': ' +  scope + ' ';
        };

      })
$('#sessions').attr('value',alldata);
}

Use the starts with selector ^ and each function like this:

var arr = new array();
$('input[name^="session"]').each(function(){
   alert($(this).val());
   // arr[] = $(this).val();
});
