I’m building a list dynamically using:

$("#Selected ul").append($liObject);

Adding works, the issue is when I call:

alert($("#Selected ul").length)

It always returns 1 even if I added more items.
Thanks

You are selecting the list, not the children of it. What you should do is this:

$("#Selected ul").children().length

or

$("#Selected ul li").length
