Getting element values in jQuery using each

Question

How can I get this value ? This not works :

<script type="text/javascript" src="/theme/js/jquery1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('.Text1').click(function () {
        $('.Span1').each(function () {
            alert($('.Span1').val());
        });
    });
</script>

I need to get the Span1's value. What I'm doing wrong ?

Edit : Span1 elements are <span>, that contains text.

what are .Span1 elements, are they inputs? as if they are <span> it won't have a value, perhaps you want text()? Adding your HTML would be helpful — OJay

You are missing : this & use text to grab text.

if you keen: $this vs $(this) in jQuery

Hope rest fits your need :)

Code

$('.Text1').click(function () {
    $('.Span1').each(function () {
        alert($(this).text());
    });
});
