jQuery: get certain element from selector

Question

i searched the docs and couldnt find it :(

let's say i'm selecting all elements like:

var items = $(".myClass");

it returns eg. 5 items - now how can i grab select eg. the 2nd one? items(2) or items[2] doesnt work ..

Answer 1

Try this:

items.eq(2) // gets the third element (zero-based index)

Answer 2

arrays are zero based so you need items[1] for the second one

Answer 3

2nd item would be items[ 1 ] in your case. Also the code you've provided works perfectly for me (with items[ 1 ]).

Answer 4

try

var items = $(".myClass"); alert($(items)[1]);
