I'd like to use the id selector:

$("#id")

Is there a way to do this to only the nth element with that ID on the page? i.e.

$("#id:n")

Answer 1

You can use the :eq(n) selector fetch the n-th item, but id should be unique.

You should use the class attribute to group similar elements.

Answer 2

There can be only ONE element with a given id in a page.

From the HTML norm :

There must not be multiple elements in a document that have the same id value.

Now suppose you want to get the nth element with a given class in your page, you may use eq :

$('.myclass').eq(index)

Answer 3

You can do like this:

$("#id:eq(n)")

But like @dystroy answer, it should be only 1 id in a page so you better using class.
