Question

Suppose I have the xml element

<fruit color="blue" taste="sweet" shape="round"></fruit>

Without jQuery, I could use

fruit.attributes.length

How do I do this with jQuery?

Answer 1

Using jQuery, you’d simply retrieve the DOM element using get(index) or [index] from the jQuery object:

$('someSelector').get(0).attributes.length;
$('someSelector')[0].attributes.length;

jQuery does not provide a wrapper around this native DOMElement property.
