title: jQuery for each
body: <p>I have a jQuery variable like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var variable = $j(this).val();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where $j(this) is the "numeric" value of a select option.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is loop through the variable value i.e do something once,twice etc, based on the value of the variable.  A bit like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$j.each(variable, function() {
     do something
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it does not do it, which bit is wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
