Question

So basically with jQuery, I am trying to loop through 3 paragraphs containing tweets. The 3 paragraphs are all of class .tweet-text

For some reason, in the following code, $test2 will be set properly to the first tweet’s text, but in the each loop, the js crashes whenver i try to set str. Why is this?

    var $tweets = $(".sidebar-tweet .tweet-text");
    var $test2 = $tweets.text();
    alert($test2);
    $tweets.each(function(i, $tweet){
        var str = $tweet.text();
        alert(str);
    });

I’ve been trying to debug this with Firebug but to no avail. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

var $tweets = $(".sidebar-tweet .tweet-text");

        $tweets.each(function(i, current){
            var str = $(current).text();
            alert(str);
        });

The issue was that the current object is not by defalt a jquery object, you must wrap it $(current) … to use the jquery methods
