How can i get the number of items(option) in a HTML select box in jQuery ?

Answer 1

You can use .length to see how many elements a selector matched, for example:

var count = $("#selectID option").length;

Answer 2

$(function(){
     var count =$('select#myID > option').size();
     alert(count);

});
