Read li values and insert them in an array?

Question

I have a ul with id ul1. In the UL I have 3 li, each containing a textbox. How do I read each and every li of the ul to retrieve the values of the textbox in the li and put them in an array?

Answer 1

It's as simple as this:

var values = [];

$('#ul1 li textarea').each(function() {
    values.push($(this).val());
});
