How to use continue in jQuery each() loop?

Question

In my application i am using AJAX call. I want to use break and continue in this jQuery loop.

$(\'.submit\').filter(\':checked\').each         


        

Answer 1

We can break both a $(selector).each() loop and a $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration.

return false; // this is equivalent of 'break' for jQuery loop

return;       // this is equivalent of 'continue' for jQuery loop

Note that $(selector).each() and $.each() are different functions.
