 <p>Probably a more elegant way of doing this but you could loop the array and convert each value to a string by adding it to a blank string <code>+=""</code>. Check <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/971039/javascript-string-and-number-conversion">here</a> for javascript type conversions </p> <pre><code>var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]; for(var i=0;i&lt;arr.length;i++) arr[i]+=""; alert(typeof arr[0]) //String </code></pre>
