How to break out of jQuery each Loop

Question

How do I break out of a jQuery each loop?

I have tried:

 return false;

In the loop but this did not work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

"each" uses callback function. Callback function execute irrespective of the calling function,so it is not possible to return to calling function from callback function.

use for loop if you have to stop the loop execution based on some condition and remain in to the same function.
