Count immediate child div elements using jQuery

Answer 1

var n_numTabs = $("#superpics div").size();

or

var n_numTabs = $("#superpics div").length;

As was already said, both return the same result.
But the size() function is more jQuery "P.C".
I had a similar problem with my page.
For now on, just omit the > and it should work fine.
