value of a string

resdesign Nov 29, 2012 11:35 AM

I am trying to retreive the length of a string and I am getting a strange number. What is my mistake?

var label = sym.$("label");

alert(label.length);

the alert says: 1

( The text is 8 letters no space).

Hey, resdesign-

You're getting the jQuery handle and not the value. Use sym.$("label").html();

Elaine,
I actually need the length of the string - not the value - oops!

Got it:
label.html().length;

Thank you so much, Elaine!
