Getting the value of multiple selected options

var foo = [];  
$('#multiple :selected').each(function(i, selected){
  foo[i] = $(selected).text();
});
// to get the selected values, just use .val() - this returns a string or array
foo = $('#multiple :selected').val();  

We’re using jQuery’s “each()” method to loop through all selected options in a multiple select list. Each value or text value is read into an array for later use.
