Mismatch of . append with length

Question

I have a script to generate images, and the images are generated with .append.

$(".fotos").append("<img src='" + size +"'/>");

The problem is that the append doesn’t generate the image in the source code, they are generated from the script itself, so I can’t count how many images there are.

I use this to count, and always returns 1, and appears 10 images.

alert($('img').parent('.fotos').length);

And like I said, only returns 1.

There’s another way to do it?

Answer 1

Usa $(".fotos > img").length to select all images whose parent has class photos.

Your current code selects all images, then selects parent with class photos, and counts parents
