.size()Returns: Integerversion deprecated: 1.8, removed: 3.0
Description: Return the number of elements in the jQuery object.
Note: This method has been removed in jQuery 3.0. Use the .length
property instead.
The .size()
method is functionally equivalent to the .length
property; however, the .length
property is preferred because it does not have the overhead of a function call.
Given a simple unordered list on the page:
1
2
3
4
|
|
Both .size()
and .length
identify the number of items:
1
2
|
|
This results in two alerts:
Size: 2
Size: 2
Example:
Count the divs.
