I don't have a lot of experience with javascript and jquery so this
question may have an obvious answer that I missed.
I have a combo box in jquery that I need to get the number of list
items from. I used the following syntax to get the number of items in
the list (based on some searching I did):
$('#emplist').length
The length indicated is 1, even though I know there are many items in
the list.
So I tried the "standard" way:
document.getElementById("emplist").length
The value here is 62
If I use Firebug to examine the $('#emplist') object, I see that under
the $('#emplist') object is a length property that is '1' but if I
inspect the object in Firebug I also see a "0" object listed
immediately below the $('#emplist') object and it has a length = 62.
So my question is, given that this "0" object has the correct value,
how do I reference that in my jquery ? Somehow $('#emplist').length
is wrong but I can't seem to figure out how to reference the correct
value that is listed under "0" in firebug. Any ideas? What am I doing
wrong in getting the number of items in the combobox?
Thanks,
Pete
