jQuery length和size()区别

1.length是属性，size()是方法。
2.如果你只是想获取元素的个数，两者效果一样既 $("img").length 和 $("img").size() 获取的值是一样的；
3.但是如果是获取字符串的长度就只得用length, 如 $("#text").val().length , 从上可以看出size()是调用length属性实现的，而且在jquery 1.8后 length取代了 size(), 因为length不需要返回一个函数调用，更优秀。

下面是外国Jquery爱好者关于size()和length区别的回复：

To check whether a DOM element is not found, you can check the length:
var found = $("p").find("span");
if (found.length == 0) {
}

It might be better to use .size() instead.

.size() is about 12% slower that .length in V8 engine
but it is a invisible difference:
- .length ~0,0000032s each
- .size() ~0,0000040s each

Yes, of course using .size() "will do." But why in the world would you use it instead of .length? It adds no value and it requires an extra function call. From jquery.js:
size: function() {
return this.length;
}
