$.each()

$.each() function can be used to iterate over any collection, whether it is an object or an array

In the case of an array, the callback is passed an array index and a corresponding array value each time. (The value can also be accessed through the this keyword, but Javascript will always wrap the this value as an Object even if it is a simple string or number value.) : $.each( obj, function( key, value ) {...function command goes here});

If an object is used as the collection, the callback is passed a key-value pair each time: $.each( obj, function( key, value ) {... function command goes here });
