var obj = list.children(‘#app-listItem1’);

how can i find out the number of children.

obj.length returns 2 always.

also how can i index the list/array.

thanks.

Without seeing your exact code it is hard to tell what might be up. But my first thought is the children(selector) is not correct. I used find(selector).

Here are some snippets that I ran in the Test Center javascript console that might be helpful.

thanks.

list.children().length worked

i was trying list.children.length

i’d like to modify the CLASS attribute of the 1st entry in the list object.

list.children(0).setAttribute( “class”, “xxx” );

does not work.

how do i get access to the underlying DOM element.

thanks.

>list.children(0).setAttribute( “class”, “xxx” );

Q: what type of object is “list” and how are you looking it up?

If “list” is an array use standard javascript array indexing syntax, myarray[0] to access the 1st element of the array.

list.children()[0] should do the trick. If you run your project in the Test Center, try opening the DOM Inspector. Then in the JS Console at bottom you can manually enter js snippets and run them to see their effect. (See prev response screenshot for an example)

list.children().first().addClass(“XX”);

solved it.
