[jQuery] get values from a select menu then assign them to an array variable

[runrunforest]

Hi,

I have a menu like this:

    <select size="8" class="cat2">
        <option value="com1">vaio</option>
        <option value="com2">thinkpad</option>
        <option value="mob1">nokia</option>
        <option value="mob2">samsung</option>
    </select>

Can I get all the values com1, com2, mob1 and mob2 then assign them to
a variable ?
