jquery array to object returns empty

Question

I have an array like so ['ABC123', 'ABC124'] and I am trying to put these items into an object so I can add more items:

var editObject = {};

        $.each(editHolder, function () {
            editObject[editHolder] = $('#' + editHolder).text();
        });

        console.log(editObject);

but this returns Object {ABC123,ABC124: ""}

what I am expecting is {ABC123: "text", ABC124: "text2"}

$('#' + editHolder).text(); is suppose to be the text in an input text feild with that id (which does exist)

You need to provide variables to your function and use them instead of full object:

var editObject = {};

$.each(editHolder, function (index, value) {
    editObject[value] = $('#' + value).text();
});

console.log(editObject);

Here you can read more information about jQuery.each function
