I have a ul as follows: It can`t read the text values neither with val() nor text(). Can anyone help please

<ul id="mylist">     
<li id="1"><input type = "text" value= "aaaaa" /></li>     
<li id="2"><input type = "text" value= "bbbb" /></li>
<li id="3"><input type = "text" value= "ccc" /></li>
<li id="5"><input type = "text" value= "dddd" /></li>

</ul><button id="Button1">Add Another2</button>

var values = []; $(document).ready(function() { $("#Button1").click(function() { $( "#mylist li text").each(function() { alert($(this).text()); values.push($(this).text()); }); }); });
