![JQuery Array Keep Returning [Object Object]](https://docuprint.cloud68.co/uploads/jquery-array-keep-returning-object-object_1200.jpg)
I am creating a jQuery array but my code keeps returning [object Object], 3 times.
Here is my code:
var idArray = [];
$('.taskPHP').each(function() {
var idStr = {
'taskPHPid': $(this).attr('id'),
'taskValue': $(this).val()
}
idArray.push(idStr);
});
alert(idArray);
EDIT: Just call me stupid...i knew i couldn't alert an array. err...to many beers and programming don't mix.
I will give u credit as soon as I can. Thanks for the help.

Seems fine, try console.log and see what it outputs, or alert(JSON.stringify(idArray))
The default "to string" for an Object is "[object Object]".
This is what the Array.toString implementation is calling for all of the elements it contains. (Array has a standard "pretty" string representation, but only in a shallow fashion.)
Stringify it to JSON first (i.e. JSON.stringify) or use a smart console.log (i.e. like Chrome's) that doesn't just call [[ToString]] on the result ..
You can't view Objects in an alert() window.
If you want to see the contents of the Object, use:
console.log(idArray); // doesn't work in IE of course
