ul list to array in jquery

[Shaydez]

I'm trying to get a UL list into an array so i can put it into different form fields

<ul id="AddressInfo">
      <li> 123 Main St. </li>
      <li> Brooklyn </li>
      <li> 11214 </li>
</ul>

i tried doing this
$(".myUL").click(function () {

// $('#mytext').val($(this).text());

var getMyUL
getMyUL = $(this).text();

var arr = getMyUL.split(' ');
alert(arr[0]);
$('#Address').val(arr[1]);
$('#ApartmentNumber').val(arr[2]);

});

and the above doesn't work in IE :/

but it just way to unstable.. i was reading Jquery has toArray but not sure how to do it. I'm a php developer so i'm thinking how to do it in php lol

You can use $('li', this) which gives you the list items as an indexable array.

For example:

$(".myUL").click(function () {
    var address = $('li', this),
        street = $(address[0]).text(),
        suburb = $(address[1]).text(),
        postcode = $(address[2]).text();
 
    ...
});

interesting.. so... it automatically puts it into an array? based on your example i was over thinking it.
