title: Getting and using values obtained from multiple text boxes via JQuery
body: <p>I'm trying to get the values from multiple textboxes using JQuery.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a bit of a newbie with Javascript in general. I have a form with the following input element: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input name="milkman" value="jessie"/&gt;
  &lt;input name="letterman2" value="jim" /&gt;
  &lt;input name="newmilk" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the values of the first two input elements using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var test_arr = $("input[name*='man']").val();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get at the individual textbox values? When I use the alert() function to echo the value of <code>test_arr</code>, all I see is the first element's value.</p>
  
  <p>Kindly assist. </p>
