How can I get a #<HTMLDivElement> as a jQuery object?

I need to do the following: I have a list of div's with the class contents. So I iterate over it until I find the one with the additional class: test

here is my code:

$.each( $(.contents), function( key, value ) {

    if (value.hasClass(test))

    {

        alert(got it);

    }

});

I'm getting the exception: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLDivElement> has no method 'hasClass'

The each() function gives you DOM object and you have to convert it to jQuery object. You can pass value to $ jQuery function to convert it to jQuery object.

$.each( $(.contents), function( key, value ) {

    if ($(value).hasClass(test))

    {

        alert(got it);

    }

});

You do not need to iterate through each and simplify it like

elements = $(.contents.text)
