How to fill the array in jquery

Question

Is there any other better way to fill up the array like :

var arr = [];
var i = 0;
$('select').children('option').each( function() {
    arr[i++] = $(this).html();
});

Answer 1

You can use map method:

var arr = $("select > option").map(function() {
    return this.innerHTML;
}).get();

});
