Counting the number of option tags in a select tag in jQuery

Question

How do I count the number of s in a DOM element using jQuery?

Answer 1

You can use either length property and length is better on performance than size.

$('#input1 option').length;

OR you can use size function like (removed in jQuery v3)

$('#input1 option').size(); 

$(document).ready(function(){
   console.log($('#input1 option').size());
   console.log($('#input1 option').length);
});
