How to iterate over all input hidden values using $.each

Question

I want to do something with each hidden input value, so I coded the following javascript using jQuery.

$.each($("input[type='hidden']"), function (index, value) {
    alert(value.val());
});

But I get he following execution error: value.val is not a function.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This would work:

$("input[type=hidden]").each(function() {
     $(this).val() //do something with
});

Answer 2

The value in the iterating function is a Node, not a jQuery object.

You still need to go: $(value).val();

See the last example here: http://api.jquery.com/each/
