jQuery count how many divs with a class there are and put into string

Question

Is there a way in jQuery to count how many divs you have and put that number into a string

<div class="name">SOME TEXT</div>

<div class="name">SOME OTHER TEXT</div>

<div class="different">DIFFERENT TEXT</div>

So count the divs with class name and then put that into a string so the output would be this

var strNoDivs = 2

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jamie

Answer 1

var nb = $('div.name').length;

Answer 2

var strNoDivs = $('div.name').length;

Done.

jQuery's selector syntax is based on the CSS selector syntax (which, I suppose, is only helpful information if you're already familiar with CSS selectors).

Answer 3

var noOfDivs = $('div.name').length?

Using the Length property.

Answer 4

var strNoDivs = $('div.name').length.toString();

Answer 5

Like this...

var divisions = $("div.name");
var strNoDivs = divisings.length.toString();
alert(strNoDivs);

Answer 6

Try this:

var strNoDivs = $('.name').length;

Answer 7

First option is:

var count= $('div.name').length;

or filter() function can be used too.

var count= $('div').filter('.aaa').length;
