Jquery problem with running through array, using .each()

[Petrucho]

I have "Checkbox" input with multiple values.

<input type="checkbox" name="drug" value="1" /><input type="checkbox" name="drug" value="2" /><input type="checkbox" name="drug" value="3" />

I want to run through this array and alert() all the values.

I'm guessing I should use Jquery's .each() command but I'm not sure how to use it.

 

the problem is, I don't understand how to use it so I can get the key and it's value.

$.each($("input[name='drug']"),function(i,v){   alert(i+": "+v);});

What am I missing in the main idea?

if you want to iterate over a collection of DOM elements, you'll want to implement like in the examples here

I got to this page in the Jquery documentation:

https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/

 

Thanks for the help, the idea is clear to me now.
