Jquery, Help on Array

hello all, how do I create an Array of a list of items from a webpage
like say; a web page contains list(ordered pr unordedred) of countries and I want to create an Array with those countries.

know that, I don't know the Number of countries available at the page.
so I want my code to get the Number of countries and create an array with them.

 

Just find whatever container has the countries you want, and do something like this: (assuming the countries are in a list with an id matching #countrylist tag)

      $(document).ready(function() {
         var countryList = [];
         $('#countrylist li').each(function() {   
           countryList.push($(this).text());
         });
         console.log(countryList);
       });

Code (markup):

That will iterate through each list-item in the ul, and add the text from the list-item to the array.

 

thanks

 

You don't need the console.log-line, btw - I just added it to check output

 

already did
