Find each div with specified class
css, html, jquery
Solution
You would want to use `filter` in this case since you're not searching inside the objects.
$(data).filter(".shout_msg").each(function(index){
console.log( $(this).find("span.username").text() );
});
Here's a quick demo for you.

Problem
``` var data='<div class="shout_msg"> <span class="username">3</span> <span class="message">hello</span> </div> <div class="shout_msg"> <span class="username">0</span> <span class="message">yo</span> </div> <div class="shout_msg"> <span class="username">0</span> <span class="message">hey</span> </div> <div class="shout_msg"> <span class="username">0</span> <span class="message">haha</span> </div>'; $(data).find(".shout_msg").each(function(index){ console.log($(this).find("span.username").text() ); }); ``` Its not returning anything. Basically the data, shown here in a variable, is coming from an AJAX request. But in any case I am doing a silly mistake or something. Please correct me.
