Find the biggest from the unordered list or ordered list

Posted by Sunil | Filed under Web Development

Yesterday I came around the situation to find the biggest li from the list of unordered list (UL). I have done that. And added a class which is the bigger in the list. Same can be apply to the ordered list (OL) too. I think it will be helpful for the others too. It is using jQuery as javascript framework. 

If you have any questions or alternate solutions please let me know.

The code:

    Alternate method would be

        $(document).ready(function() {
        var biggest = 0;
        var bigIndex = 0;
        $("#list li").each(function(i,el){
            var val = parseInt($(el).text());
            if(val > biggest) {
                biggest = val;
                bigIndex = i
            }
        });
        alert("postion "+ (bigIndex + 1) + " is the biggest");
        $("#list li").eq(bigIndex).addClass('bigger');
    });
