[jQuery] Get a hold of collection inside $.each?
I am wondering if it is possible to get a hold of a jQuery collection
inside the each function without two expressions, like this:
jQuery('p').each( function(i) {
if (i === 0) {
// alert the length of the expression jQuery('p')
}
});
I could of course do this:
var els = jQuery('p');
els.each( function(i) {
if ( i===0) {
alert(els.length);
}
});
But for other reasons, I'd rather do it with one expression.
