   var $this = $(this);

And...?

how can I do this?

Select the <option> elements , and then get the length .

var numOptions = $this.children().length;

Learn to dig through the jQuery API docs . They will answer 99% of your questions.

Answer 2

Counting the number of options tag in the Select Dom element in JQuery

Answer 3

If you want to loop through a collection of select list items, inspecting the DOM will show that each item has an object array with one item so you can use the following code...

$('.myddlclass').each(function (index) {
    var options = $(this)[0].options.length;
});

Answer 4

If I understand what you're trying to do, I believe you can use

$("select[name="rabetas"] option").size();
