$('#chat') will return a single div that has the id 'chat'. I presume your DIVs do not all have the same ID, since IDs have to be unique. I suspect you have a class instead (class='chat').

In this case you should get the number of such DIVs by:

$('.chat').size();

I'm also assuming you missed out the apostrophes around "#chat" by mistake.
