jQuery .html() of all matched elements

Question

.html() function on class selector ($('.class').html()) applies only to the first element that matches it. I'd like to get a value of all elements with class .class.

Answer 1

You are selection all elements with class .class but to gather all html content you need to walk trough all of them:

var fullHtml;  $('.class').each(function() {    fullHtml += $(this).html(); }); 

search items by containig text inside of it:

$('.class:contains("My Something to search")').each(function() {    // do somethign with that });
