jquery each function error when getting value

Question

I have that Jquery code:

$('input[name*="fotos[]"]').each(function (i, ele) {
      alert(ele.val());
});

but I get that error in browers:

Error: TypeError: ele.val is not a function

what is wrong here?

you can use

alert($(ele).val());

or

alert($(this).val());

You need to turn ele into a jQuery object:

alert($(ele).val());

The ele parameter to the .each callback is a single DOM element, not a jQuery object.

You should either:

NB: within the callback, this === ele
