I need to get the values of a bunch of list items into an array.
This is what I'm trying at the moment:
var array = $('li').each(function () {
$(this).html();
};

var array = $('li').map(function() { return $(this).html(); }).get();
You can do it with .each(), but you have to actually build an array explicitly:
var array = [];
$('li').each(function() { array.push($(this).html()); });

You are almost done.
With little modification's,
var array =[];
$('li').each(function () {
array.push($(this).html());
});

Working Demo Here
You need to use push for adding values to your array
items.push($(this).html());
See your code on JSFiddle

An alternative method is to use the Array prototype method slice, but since there's a jQuery method of the same name, probably not necessary. Some nice information to know tho.
var array = [].slice.call($('li')).map(function(el) {
return $(el).html();
});
