Menu
I am trying to make an editable box (kind of a richTextBox) using html5 (contenteditable="true") and jquery. I need to find out position of each element inside the editable div so that I can insert a page break like microsoft word does. Here is the page
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>jQuery Context Menu Plugin Demo</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#divEdit").keyup(function(){
$.each($("#divEdit").find("*"), function(i,item){
alert(item.position());
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

The problem is that alert(item.position()) is not fetching anything. The error that comes in firefox developer toolbar is 'item.position is not a function'. My guess is that it has to do something with the type of each element in $("#divEdit").find("*") as all the elements are different. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You need to get the jQuery object out of item, as position() is a jQuery method, hence the complain about position() is not a function
$(item).position() // instead of item.position()
Or even more concise:
$.each($("#divEdit").find("*"), function(i,item){
alert(item.position());
}
change to
$('#divEdit').find('*').each(function() {
alert($(this).position());
})
