Question

Given the following HTML

<div class"myclass">10</div>
<div class"myclass">25</div>
<div class"myclass">50</div>
<div class"myclass">20</div>

I want Jquery to return the maximum value found on divs with class:”myclass”. (This is 50)

I thought of using .find.text() will be a good starting point but cant figure out exactly how,

Help is greatly appreciatted,

Thanks

Answer 1

Well, something like

var $set = $('myclass'),
    max  = 0;
$.each($set, function(){
    if(parseInt(this.text()) > max)
       max = parseInt(this.text());
});

should do it.
