Get hidden jquery field value?

Question

I have the following HTML

<input type="hidden" name="conf1" value="7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC-09)">
    <input type="hidden" name="conf2" value="IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processsing with Applications">
    <input type="hidden" name="conf3" value="jkhga">
    <input type="hidden" name="conf4" value="test">
    <input type="hidden" name="conf5" value="The 3rd International Conference on Adaptive Business Information Systems (ABIS'09)">

    <input type="text" name="published">

And I'm trying to get the values ​​of hidden fields in an array using jquery. Here is what I tried:

 var conferences = new Array();

        conferences[0] = $('#conf1').val();
        conferences[1] =$("[name='conf2']").val();
        conferences[2] =$("[name='conf3']").val();
        conferences[3] = $("[name='conf4']").val();
        conferences[4] =$("[name='conf5']").val();     

Can someone guide me on how to read them?
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

If you are going to use jQuery, you can do this:

var array = $('input:hidden').map(function() {
    return this.value;
}).get();

.map() iterates over the collection and places the return value in a jQuery object.

.get() retrieves an array from a jQuery object.

var conferences = [];

$('input:hidden[name^="conf"]').each(function() {
    conferences.push($(this).val());
});

var array = $.map($('input:hidden'),function(i) {
