Answer 1

Depending on the layout (do you have a DIV with this class at other levels that you want to avoid?), You can go through with

$('#rightCol').find('div.entry').length

Answer 2

You can do this using a child selector ( >) , for example:

$("#rightCol > * > * > div.entry").length

Although, if you know the type of the child, I would use it over *. If the level does not matter, only the descendant selector ( ) will work .

$("#rightCol div.entry").length
