How Do I Iterate Over The Results Of A Jquery Selector?

When I'm trying to store all elements as objects in array (using $('a')), and then get the position of each of them, it doesn't work. years = $('a'); for(i=0;i< years

Solution 1:

Use this instead:

$("a").each(function() { 
  var pos = $(this).position();
  if (pos.top > year.position().top) {
     // hurray
  }
});

Also what is the value of year? I prefer to name jQuery objects like this: var $year = $("#year"); The $ helps you remember it's a jQuery object.

Solution 2:

You can do the following:

var arr = [], elems = $('a');

for(var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++){
   arr[i] = elems[i];
}
