Jquery each – Stop loop and return object

by

Because when you use a return statement inside an each loop, a “non-false” value will act as a continue, whereas false will act as a break. You will need to return false from the each function. Something like this:

function findXX(word) {
    var toReturn; 
    $.each(someArray, function(i) {
        $('body').append('-> '+i+'<br />');
        if(someArray[i] == word) {
            toReturn = someArray[i];
            return false;
        }   
    }); 
    return toReturn; 
}

From the docs:

We can break the $.each() loop at a particular iteration by making the
callback function return false. Returning non-false is the same as a
continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next
iteration.
