How to get class count on form in jquery?

Question

How can i get the count of my error class on the view ?

I am adding .error class with some span and input controls.But its not necessary the all controls will show at the time of form loading or submitting.

So i just want to get count of the .error class which are showing currently on the form,with the help of jquery.

Can any one help me out on this ?

Answer 1

To get the number of elements that have .error class and are showing currently on the form you can do:

var count = $("form .error:visible").length;

Answer 2

var count = $('.error').length;

is this what you're after?
