Jquery Count Number Of Divs With A Certain Class?

Considering something like this;

Solution 1:

You can use the jquery .length property

var numItems = $('.item').length;

Solution 2:

For better performance you should use:

var numItems = $('div.item').length;

Since it will only look for the div elements in DOM and will be quick.

Suggestion: using size() instead of length property means one extra step in the processing since SIZE() uses length property in the function definition and returns the result.

Solution 3:

You can use jQuery.children property.

var numItems = $('.wrapper').children('div').length;

for more information refer http://api.jquery.com/

Solution 4:

And for the plain js answer if anyone might be interested;

var count = document.getElementsByClassName("item");

Cheers.

Solution 5:

I just created this js function using the jQuery size function http://api.jquery.com/size/

function classCount(name){
  alert($('.'+name).size())
}

It alerts out the number of times the class name occurs in the document.
