jquery - Getting all options in a select element -

i have select element user can add , remove options. when user done click save cannot figure out how options select. have found jquery selected need of them. tried this:

var str = "";     $("#wordlist").each(function () {         str += $(this).text() + ",";     });     alert(str); 

but concatenates option 1 long string ends in comma.

that code says on box. expect have used $("#wordlist option") options. guessing if options "this", "that" , "the other" got thisthatthe other,, code (that text inside #wordlist element, includes options inside element. array performing .each() on has single element: "thisthatthe other", iterate on once , add comma).

you want concatenate text of each of options in #wordlist (i think), try

var str = "";     $("#wordlist option").each(function () {         str += $(this).text() + ",";     });     alert(str); 

to give string of words (like this,that,the other,) if want array, instead this:

var arr = [];     $("#wordlist option").each(function () {         arr.push($(this).text());     });     alert(arr.join(", "));
