Answer 3

Answer 4

+1 A:

Getting a count of the number of elements that refer to the same class is as simple as this

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
        <script type="text/javascript">

            $(document).ready(function() {
                alert( $(".red").length );
            });

        </script>
    </head>
    <body>

        <p class="red">Test</p>
        <p class="red">Test</p>
        <p class="red anotherclass">Test</p>
        <p class="red">Test</p>
        <p class="red">Test</p>
        <p class="red anotherclass">Test</p>
    </body>
</html>
