Count Elements On Page

[X96 Web Design]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a PHP or JavaScript script that can count all the elements on the page which have a certain class applied to them, and then spit out the number.

Thanks

Simplest way I know is using jQuery (http://jquery.com/):


$(document).ready(function(){
var n = $('.classname').length;
});

How would you echo n? I tried document.write(n) and it didn't work.

Thanks

Use the .html() (http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes/html) or the .text() (http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes/text) methods.
