[jQuery] Re: change certain elements in result set based on position

[devilmike]

Awesome Ricardo, thanks! I guess the only issue I have is that I'll
never know how many "sets of 4" I'll be dealing with, and i apologize
for not explaining myself very well in my example. Basically for each
"set", I want to run the same function.  This is what I came up with.
It works, but I'm a bit concerned about the amount of looping going
on. Your code seems much cleaner...


var result = $('a');
var theCount = 4; //variable passed in
var oldCount = -1;
var theRow = result;

while (theRow.length > 1){
    theRow = jQuery.grep(result, function(n, i){
        return (n  && i < theCount && i > oldCount );
    });
    oldCount = theCount - 1;
    theCount = theCount + 4;

$(theRow).each(function(i, o){
// do something to each item of each set
});
    }
