The jQuery attr() method returns only the attribute of a set's first
matched element. E.g., for the HTML snippet:

<input type="text" name="input-one" value="some stuff"/>
<input type="text" name="input-two" value="some other stuff"/>
<input type="text" name="input-three" value="some other other stuff"/>

the jQuery expression

$("input").attr("name") will return only the string "input-one."

What if, instead, I wanted to return all the attribute values in an
array? What's the syntax to produce this result?

Thanks in advance,

Has anyone used this?

$.fn.attrs = function(key, val){
        if (val != undefined)
                return this.attr(key, val);
        return $.map(this, function(a){
                return $(a).attr(key);
        });
