i'm still new in html javascript. I want to ask can i use for loop to optimize or make this dynamic
var port = [];
port[0]=$('#slcPort_0').val();
port[1]=$('#slcPort_1').val();
port[2]=$('#slcPort_2').val();
port[3]=$('#slcPort_3').val();
port[4]=$('#slcPort_4').val();
i used this code in function to retrieve data from html form
thanks
You could use:
// selects all the elements whose 'id' starts-with "slcPort_":
var port = $('[id^=slcPort_]').map(function(){
// returns the value from those elements:
return this.value;
// converts to an array:
}).get();
This isn't guaranteed to be in numerical order, though it will be in order of the appearance of those elements in the DOM.
References:
Simply, you can do the following:
var port = Array();
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++){
port[i] = $("#slcPort_"+i).val();
}
It might make more sense to give all those elements a class, like slcPort. Then something like
var port = [];
$.each($('.slcPort'), function(index,value) {
port[index] = $(value).val();
});
Much prettier. Plus all those elements are related anyways, so just class em up.
