[jQuery] get values from a select menu then assign them to an array variable


Hi,
I have a menu like this:
<select size="8" class="cat2">
<option value="com1">vaio</option>
<option value="com2">thinkpad</option>
<option value="mob1">nokia</option>
<option value="mob2">samsung</option>
</select>
Can I get all the values com1, com2, mob1 and mob2 then assign them to
a variable ?
