get each value from select multiple

easy one guys:

i have a select, type multiple, so i need to do a loop to send to database each value that was selected, one by one.

this is what i have done so far, but my $.each are returning 0 1 2 3.

how can i do this ?

html:

   <select multiple="multiple" id="sel">
          <option>All</option>
          <option>Option 1</option>
          <option>Option 2</option>
          <option>Option 3</option>
  </select>

js: 

    $("#send").click(function(){
         var sel = $("#sel").val();
         $.each(sel, function(e){
             alert(e); // should come the text of each one
         });
    });

Thanks.

you need the value in the $.each, not the index. jQuery.each gives these two parameters to your callback function.

Assuming you mean a server-side database, the next step is to set up a server side application that can insert the rows into the database that you're sending it from jQuery.

On the jQuery side you probably want something like: $.post(someurl, sel);

This is based on the assumptions made in your question, but I'm not actually sure what you expect sel to contain here. You may want to look at jQuery.serialize or serializeArray.

You show the key not the value. try this

$.each(sel, function(key,value){
             alert(value); // should come the text of each one
         });

e = index , not an array element itself 

$.each(sel, function(e){
    alert(sel[e]); // should come the text of each one
});

If I undestand well, you want to retrieve the html content of each value.

So you should do this:

     $.each(sel, function(index, element){
         alert(element.html());
     });
