Jquery count characters
<p>I'm having problems to figure out why jquery string counter won't show me the expected result.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt;
&lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 var count = $('h1').length;
 alert(count);

&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;some text&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>the result should be with this example 9, but instead I'm getting 0</p>
