How to alert using jQuery

Question

This works:

$('.overdue').addClass('alert');

But this doesn't:

$('.overdue').alert('Your book is overdue.'); 

What is the correct jQuery syntax for:

FOR EACH CLASS="overdue"
   alert('Your book is overdue');
NEXT

Answer 1

alert($('#test')); // or alert($('#test'). get(0)); // also try alert(document. getElementById('test')); If the last one doesn't work (it should alert 'HTMLElement', depending on the browser) then jQuery is not working, you might need to check your imports are correct or check for errors in your JavaScript files.
