I need to get the ID of every div with a class and send it across to another PHP file. I would assume I need all of the ID's in one variable. The ID's will be put into a mysql query where I will find data that does not equal these ID's. How can this be done?

I have tried jQuery's each function but you cannot put all of the data from that function into one variable. At least not the way i did it.

This is what i've tried.

$('.newsItem').each(function(){
     alert (this.id);
});

Thanks in advance.

• javascript
• jquery
• jquery-selectors

• I'm unable to think of a good reason why you'd want to do this. Can't you just use an ordinary HTML form? – Blazemonger Commented Sep 4, 2012 at 17:47

var ids = $('.className').map(function(){
   return this.id;
}).get();

DEMO

Put the data in a array

 Var ids= new Array();
 $('.newsItem').each(function(){
            ids[] = $(this).attr('id');
    });
