count - jQuery inside body tag only? -

is there way count children inside element using jqueru or javascript?

i tried several methods like:

var count = $(document.body).children().length  or  var count = 0; $(document.body).children().each(function(){    count +=1 }); 

and every single 1 counts elements outside of tag , scripts or styles!

so there way count elements inside body tag?

to number of elements inside body tag, try

var btags = document.body.getelementsbytagname("*"); var count = btags.length;
