JQuery - How do I count the number of elements selected by a selector?
<p>I am using $().fadeOut() to fade items out in a list ( &lt; li> &lt; /li>). When the list is empty I wish to hide a parent object.</p>

<p>I plan on doing this by checking in my trigger event that fades the list if the count of the objects is 0 then hide the parent element. I can use the fadeOut callback to remove the elements if necessary.</p>

<p>The to the point question:
<strong>How do I select li tags inside a ul and then get the total count of them using jquery?</strong></p>
