Iterate over an array of selected jQuery Objects?

Question

How do you iterate through a group of selected jQuery objects so that you can perform jQuery functions on each object individually?

   
 <div class="foobar">abc</div>
 <div class="foobar">123</div>
 <div class="foobar">abc123</div>

I can select the group:

var foobarObjects = jQuery('.foobar')

But how would you go through each jQuery object in foobarObject and manipulate each one individually? I thought I could use jQuery().each but that only allows me to work with DOM objects, not jQuery objects. I also tried a for loop in conjunction with the jQuery().eq(i) function, but that seems to merge the items together.

Answer 1

Use $(this)

$('.foobar').each(function(){
  $(this).blah//refers to jquery object.
});

Answer 2

Within jQuery().each() you can use $(this) to use the jQuery functions on the current DOM object.
