Question

I have a bunch of elements that contain the rel attribute.

I’m trying to use this to loop through the elements to get the value of each.

$('area').find('rel').each(function(index){
    alert(index);
});

However it doesn’t seem to work.

Answer 1

The argument to find is supposed to be a selector. To actually pull out the element values, you want something like:

$('[rel]').each(function() {
    alert($(this).attr('rel'));
});
