$('#foo > div').size()

Answer 5

$("#foo > div").length

jQuery has a .size() function which will return the number of times that an element appears but, as specified in the jQuery documentation, it is slower and returns the same value as the .length property so it is best to simply use the .length property.

With the most recent version of jquery, you can use $("#superpics div").children().length.
