[jQuery] count children
[jQuery] count children
<div dir="ltr">Hello all<div>
</div><div>I have seen examples of counting children of an element like a div. I have tried to customize those examples to work for my situation, but with no success. What I'm trying to accomplish seems simple, but I have not been able to make it happen. I'm simply trying to count the 'group#' divs inside of the 'master' div. I was hoping that something like:</div>
<div>
</div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">var ct = $('#master').children().size();</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">
</span></div>
<div>would work, but being new to JQuery I have not been able to find a solution. </div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div>
</div><div><div><div id="master"></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><div id="group1"></div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><table></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><tr></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><td></div>
