I'm trying to use a regular expression to capture the contents of all option values inside an HTML select element

For example, in:

<select name="test">
<option value="blah">one</option>
<option value="mehh">two</option>
<option value="rawr">three</option>
</select>

I'd like to capture one two and three into an array.

My current code is

var pages = responseDetails.responseText.match(/<select name="page" .+?>(?:\s*<option .+?>([^<]+)<\/option>)+\s*<\/select>/);

for (var c = 0; c<pages.length; c++) {
    alert(pages[c]);
}

But it only captures the last value, in this case, "three". How can I modify this to capture all of them?

Thanks!
