jqueryHow do I determine the length of a jQuery object?


The length of a jQuery object can be determined by using the length property. The length property returns the number of elements in the jQuery object.

For example:

var jqObj = $("div");
console.log(jqObj.length);

The output of this code will be the number of <div> elements on the page.

Code explanation

  • var jqObj = $("div"); - This creates a jQuery object containing all <div> elements on the page.
  • jqObj.length - This returns the number of elements in the jQuery object.
  • console.log(jqObj.length); - This prints the number of elements in the jQuery object to the console.
