Selecting divs using JQuery in Edge Animate

all-

 

i'm trying return number of items on stage in alert.

 

inside of compostionready of stage element have following code

 

$(document).ready(function() {

    alert($("#stage").length + " elements!");

});

 

1 elements returned in alert there 2 divs on stage

 

i tried grouping objects in 1 div calling them this

 

$(document).ready(function() {

    alert($("#grpdivs").length + " elements!");

});

 

this yeilds 0 elements

 

i tried this

 

$(document).ready(function() {

    alert($("#stage grpdivs").length + " elements!");

});

 

zero same result

 

i'm working thru jquery tutorial im sure there's subtle difference i'm missing

 

thanks

hi there,

 

you're there - in first example, you're saying "tell me how many stage elements have". try this, instead:

 

$(document).ready(function() {

    alert($("#stage").children().length + " elements!");

});

 

using children() gets child elements of stage.

 

hth,

joe
