Why is jQuery returning each character of the contents of my span element when I loop it?
<p>Ok, I have bunch of span with an endtime class. I want to get each of the contents independently from the others.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;span class='endtime'&gt;
  2011-03-29 00:01:03
&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class='endtime'&gt;
 2011-03-31 19:20:11
&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class='endtime'&gt;
 2011-03-28 19:00:12
&lt;/span&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But the problem is, when I do this:</p>

<pre><code>var text = $('.endtime').text();
for(var i = 0; i &lt; text.length; i++) {
      $('.counter').countdown({
            until: text[i],
            format: 'HMS'
      })
}
</code></pre>

<p>The contents of the text only have 1 character? How to make it return the whole characters?</p>
