size( )
The number of elements in the jQuery object.
This returns the same number as the '
length' property
of the jQuery object. However, it is slightly slower, so length should be used instead.
Examples:| Name | Type |
|---|
Count the divs. Click to add more.
$(document.body).click(function () { $(document.body).append($("<div>"));
var n = $("div").size();
$("span").text("There are " + n + " divs." + "Click to add more.");}).click(); // trigger the click to start
