Serialize the array

Question

I have called serialize on array

inputColl.serialize();

How to loop to it and print values?

Answer 1

jQuery.each() (not the same as jQuery().each()) can iterate over nearly any iterable object.

Answer 2

$.each(inputColl, function(n, i) {
  alert(n);
});

Answer 3

cpharmston and cletus have solid approaches. I'll offer a plain JavaScript approach and an approach you should not use:

How to loop through an array using plain ol' JavaScript:

var arr = inputColl.serialize();
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
{
  //do something with arr[i];
}

Don't confuse the loop above with this one:

var arr = inputColl.serialize();
for(var i in arr)
{

}

The JavaScript for/in statement loops through an object's properties. This is a very different operation than looping through an array's contents, but it is a common mistake to make. This is especially common if you use languages like C# and are expecting behavior similar to its foreach construct.
