Question

I have a jquery menu that has so many entries that it extends further than the length of the page. I want to get the number of entries in each menu section so I can use that to resize a padding div at the end of the page.

$('.hideMe').click(function(){      alert( $(this).next('ul').children() ); });  

So I want to find out the number of li tags under the ul tag.

<h3 class='hideMe'>Items</h3>     <ul class='myul'>         <li id='001' >             <a href='products.php?item=001'>Item 1</a>         </li>         <li id='002' >             <a href='products.php?item=002'>Item 2</a>         </li>            <li id='003' >         <a href='products.php?item=003'>Item 3</a>         </li>    

Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

What about this:

$(this).next('ul').find('li').length 

?
