I have this:
<ul>
<li>first</li>
<li>second</li>
<li>third</li>
<li>fourth</li>
</ul>
Then I select it all with jQuery: $('ul').find('li');
or $('ul li');
How can I, from those two jQuery selectors get the, for instance only second li, or third, and to leave first and fourt alone?
I thought it might work with:
$('myselector').get(indexNumber); // however, it won't work.
Any ideas for this issue? Thanks.
The get
method returns the DOM element, so then you would have to wrap it inside a new jQuery object.
You can use the eq
method:
var j = $('ul li').eq(1); // gets the second list item
Use :eq() Selector. For for example, for second element use:
$("ul li:eq(1)");
$('li').get(0) will return plain DOM element. you cannot call jQuery methods on same.
you can use nth-child
$("ul li:nth-child(2)") //this will select second child because it is 1 based index
