jquery: get values of all children of a div
<p>I am trying to use jquery to get the values of all children element of a div.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div class='parent'&gt;
    &lt;input type='text' value='1' class='child' /&gt;
    &lt;input type='text' value='2' class='child' /&gt;
    &lt;input type='text' value='3' class='child' /&gt;
    &lt;input type='text' value='4' class='child' /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The child inputs are generated with php from db. Their number varies.</p>

<p>I am trying to get something like:</p>

<pre><code>variable = (child1_value + child2_value + child3_value + child4_value + ... + "childX_value");
</code></pre>

<p>how can I make this work for whatever number of children?</p>
