Pushing value of Var into an Array

Question

I know this is probably a simple question  but I m attempting a tweak in a plugin  amp  js is not my expertise and I got stumped on how to do the following   I have an array that can contain a number of values   fruit  depending on what a user has entered  I want to add another variable to the array that isn t determined by manual input    I know push should apply here but it doesn t seem to work  why does the following syntax not work   var veggies    carrot   var fruitvegbasket       fruit   val    fruitvegbasket push veggies       update   I got it working doing this   var fruit       fruit   val    var veggies    carrot   fruitvegbasket   new Array    fruitvegbasket push fruit     veggies     not sure that s the best way to do it  but it works  thanks all

Off the top of my head I think it should be done like this   var veggies    carrot   var fruitvegbasket       fruitvegbasket push veggies

jQuery is not the same as an array  If you want to append something at the end of a jQuery object  use       fruit   append veggies     or to append it to the end of a form value like in your example        fruit   val     fruit   val   veggies     In your case  fruitvegbasket is a string that contains the current value of  fruit  not an array   jQuery  jquery com  allows for DOM manipulation  and the specific function you called val   returns the value attribute of an input element as a string  You can t push something onto a string

Perhaps     fruit   val    is not returning an array and you need something like       fruit   val           http   docs jquery com Attributes val

val   does not return an array from a DOM element      fruit   is going to find the element in the document with an ID of  fruit and get its value  if it has a value
