Question

I am having an annoying bug that I forgot why it happens:

I have an ordinary html list

<ul> <li>Some text</li> <li>Another Text </li> <li>text</li> <li>another one</li> </ul>

and I am trying to measure each li width

I was trying to write this jQuery code:

for (var i=0; i++; i <4)
{
   $("ul li")[i].width();
}

but somehow that doesn’t work – what am I doing wrong in this sentence $("ul li")[i].width(); ?

Answer 1

$('ul li').each(function()
{
    $(this).width();
});

This is far more simple to walk over a set of elements with the .each() function.
