try:

var final = []; $(".item").each(function(){    final.push(this.innerhtml); }); 

or:

var final = $('.item').map(function() {     return this.innerhtml; }).get(); 

or mentioned in comments:

var items = $('.item').map(function() {     return this.innerhtml; }).get();  var final = "something1" + items[0] + "something2" + items[1]; 

or this:

$('.item').each(function(i) {     window['value'+(i+1)] = this.innerhtml; });  var final = "something1" + value1 + "something2" + value2;  $.get('go.php', {'items' : final }, function(...
