First of all many thanks to the makers for this absolutly fantastic
library. I just discovere jquery and I'm really carried away by its
ease of use and its small size. However, as I slowly get a grip on how
it works, i still couldn't figure out, whether there is a function in
jquery which returns only the ID's of selected elements, rather than
the entire html mark up.


Example:

<div id="container">
<div class="item" id="1">item1</div>
<div class="item" id="3">item2</div>
<div class="item" id="3">item3</div>
</div>

<input type="text" id="myInput" name="myInput"/>


Given this markup, how would i get only the id's of all elements with
the class="item", e.g. path them as comma separated values to the
input field ?


As a bloody beginner I would welcome any hint.

Thanks, Daniel
