Jquery: Select all H2 tags on page, copy the text of those H2 tags to a list

Solution 1
Yes:
$('h2').each(function() {
$('ul').append($('<li/>', {text: $(this).text()});
});
Of course you might want to tag your <ul>
element with an "id" or whatever. If you don't start off with a <ul>
on the page, then you'd construct it as described in a couple other answers.
Also, as Nick correctly points out, if there are a bunch of those <h2>
elements then you might want to stash the jQuery handle for the <ul>
element in a variable, to save the repeated lookup.
Solution 2
With jQuery it's really easy:
var ul = $('<ul />');
$('h2').each(function(obj) {
ul.append('<li>' + $(obj).html() + '</li>');
});
Now ul
will contain the h2
-titles. :)

Is there a very simple way to select all H2 tags on the page, then take the text in those H2 tags and add the text of each one to a list.
example:
<H2>I'm number one!</H2> <H2>I'm number two?</H2> <H2>I'm number three.</H2>
the script will grab those, and copy their contents into a list when the page is loaded:
<UL> <LI>I'm number one!</LI> <LI>I'm number two?</LI> <LI>I'm number three.</LI> </UL>
