Your initial code block:
$('.wordbreakfield').each(function(){
$(this).text();
});
...doesn't do anything with the text(). You retrieve it but it's not used.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit confused though. :)
If "$('.wordbreakfield')" returns an array of jquery objects, then
".each(function(){" applies a function to the raw DOM of each element,
& using "$(this)" accesses the jquery object rather than the raw DOM
so we can use the "text()" function.
So why doesn't that translate to "get the text for each jquery object
in the array"?
