How do I iterate through children elements of a div using jQuery?

Question

I have a div and it has several input elements in it... I\'d like to iterate through each of those elements. Ideas?

I don't think that you need to use each(), you can use standard for loop

var children = $element.children().not(".pb-sortable-placeholder");
for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
    var currentChild = children.eq(i);
    // whatever logic you want
    var oldPosition = currentChild.data("position");
}

this way you can have the standard for loop features like break and continue works by default

also, the debugging will be easier
