Knockout validation. Get Observable value

Question

Is there some option to get all observable values from inputs? I mean to get this values:

<input type="text" data-bind="value: myValue">

I have many inputs with diffrent values, I need to get all of them and put them to the loop.

$("input[type=text]").each(function(){
       $(this).value().....
})

Any idias? Note: I need to get the observable value of my viewModel, not only the string

It is my understanding that you want to style elements with errors. If so, all you need to do is initialize validation with decorateElement set to true, set a css class you want to apply by setting the errorElementClass (validationElement by default) to the element and style it.

If invalid, the style will be applied to the element.

ko.validation.init({
    decorateElement: true,
    errorElementClass: 'error'
});

var viewModel = {
    // if missing, the 'error' class will be applied
    name: ko.observable('bob').extend({ required: true })
};

Here's a fiddle to demonstrate.
