jquery $.each gives me an object that does not have hasClass method
javascript, jquery
Solution
Your first hint should be that the object is an `#<HTMLInputElement>` and not a jQuery object. Use `$(elem).hasClass('re');`
Problem
I'm trying to iterate over a collection of items with the class `required`. I think I must be using the `$.each` function incorrectly. ``` function required(address) { //object to hold elements not passing validation tests var pass = true; $('.required').each(function(index, elem){ console.log(elem); //check if it has the class indicating it is an email if (elem.hasClass('re')) { var validEmail = validateEmail(address.email); if (!validEmail){ $(this).addClass('nv'); } } }); } ``` I see that the element in the console is `<input type="text" id="name_input" class="pr required">` And then the error `Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLInputElement> has no method 'hasClass'` How can that object not have the hasClass method?
