in JQuery you can use: in class for Select Option:

$('.className').each(function(){
    className.push($("option:selected",this).val().substr(1));
});

in class for text Value:

$('.className').each(function(){
    className.push($(this).val().substr(1));
});

in ID for text Value:

$("#id").val().substr(1)
