Jquery, get an array of text()

Question

I am trying to get and array of text after using the text function, having a ul list like

<ul>   <li>one     <ul>       <li>one one</li>       <li>one two</li>     </ul>   </li> </ul> 

then get something like

['one', 'one one', 'one two'] 

Answer 1

var array = $('li').map(function(){                return $.trim($(this).text());             }).get();
