[jQuery] jQuery variable?

[jQuery] jQuery variable?


Hi guys,
I'm new on jQuery and I don't know where to go with what I want:
I have a table with multiple prices. Lets say:
(Live Points)
User | Points
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John | 10
Carl | 20
Robert | 30
Paul | 40
and I have a js call at the end of the page sending this users id to
the function in order to update the points (each 5 secounds or so).
So... I dont want to have 4 (at moment) but in future can be 400
requests at the same time.
For that I decided to put all the users id inside an array and send
the array to the server.
-------------------------------------
$(function() {
        $("#user_points").everyTime(5000,function(i) {
            $(this).load("/autorefresh/user_points",
                {
                data:"'.$user_id_array.'"
                }, function(){
                document.write(this.value);
                    $("#user_points").animate({ backgroundColor: "#DBEBBC" }, 300);
                    $("#user_points").animate({ backgroundColor: "white" }, 300);
                    });
        });
    });
------------------------------------
Now I have all the user points returned to my div #user_points. But I
would like to have the points returned to a js array. How can I do
that?
Thank you,
