I have the following HTML
<ul id="listing">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
How can I access the 2nd LI inner text?
Can I do
$("#listing li").[1].text()
If not, what is the sytax?

What you linked too show the following syntax -> $("#listing li:eq(1)").text();Does your syntax work (is supported). Your syntax makes more sense to me

Does one version perform better than another?

okay this is promising... http://www.spadgos.com/?p=51seems like the eq() method is around five times faster than :eq() granted, it probably doesn't matter at all in your situation.
