remove element when dose not exist #jquery

[hamid bourja]

When i run this code
for (var i = 0; i < 31; i++) {
$( '#e-list-'+i ).clone().appendTo('#a-list-'+i);
if ($('#e-div-'+i).length) {
$( '#a-list-'+i).parents().remove();
}

}
i get an error .

I think length will be length()

I think you might want to show the HTML markup as well, “an error” is quite undescriptive.

Error?
..if you remove the parents while you have them as selector in your for-loop
– on the first pass, all parents (up to html-tag) will be removed.. then the selector’s are gone.
– nothing to select for the next runs.

show your html.
what is the goal?

edit: $(‘#e-div-‘+i).length is true if the element exist
