How to iterate through jQuery elements

Question

I want to be able to see what\'s inside the tags that jQuery finds. How come the following doesn\'t work?

 $(\"div.UIImageBlock_Content.UIImageBlock_ICON_Content         


        

Answer 1

• $this => $(this)
• .html => .html()

So this should do it:

$("div.UIImageBlock_Content.UIImageBlock_ICON_Content").each ( function() {
     alert($(this).html());
 });

Note that html() function just uses the innerHTML property, so it can be a lot simpler:

$("div.UIImageBlock_Content.UIImageBlock_ICON_Content").each ( function() {
     alert(this.innerHTML);
 });
