AJS.$ equivalent for the ".each" function

Question

I've been updating some of my older user macros which called jQuery directly AJS.$ as recommended here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Use+JavaScript+in+Confluence

Some of my code uses the .each function of jQuery.

If I replace "jQuery.each() {...}" with "AJS.$.each() {...}" then a Velocity Parser Exception error is thrown and the macro doesn't work.

If I try "AJS.each() {...}" then there's no sign of an error, but the macro doesn't work.

I've checked this forum and the documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/AUI/AJS+helper+functions) but found no examples of how the .each function can be used from AJS.$.

Anyone come across this before and found a solution?

Thanks,

Charles

The error message recorded in the Confluence log file is as follows: Caused by: org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "," at getRenderedContent[line 86, column 30] Was expecting one of: "(" ... ... ... ... "##" ... "\\" ... "\" ... ... "*#" ... "*#" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "{" ... "}" ... The line number & position given relates to this line in the user macro: Old version - works fine: 86 jQuery.each(rows, function(index, row) { 87 row.sortKey = sortKey(AJS.$(row).children('td').eq(column)); 88 }); New version - errors: 86 AJS.$.each(rows, function(index, row) { 87 row.sortKey = sortKey(AJS.$(row).children('td').eq(column)); 88 });

can you share the error message ?

Those examples both use AJS.$.each which I've tried, resulting in an error.

I'm running Confluence 4.2.1, so perhaps the AJS library offers support for .each in more recent versions?

I notice other users have been having similar trouble. In this case with the .ajax method - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/131487/ajax-calls-breaking-confluence

Neither .ajax nor .each work for me. I get a similar error to the one posted in that topic.
