How to select a range of elements in jQuery
javascript, jquery
Solution
jQuery slice() function taking indexes of the first and the last needed elements selects a subset of the matched elements. Note what it doesn't include last element itself.
In your particular case you should use
$("#myDiv a").slice(1, 4)
Problem
``` <div id="myDiv"> <a>...</a> <a>...</a> <a>...</a> <a>...</a> <a>...</a> <a>...</a> </div> ``` If you wanted to select the 2nd, 3rd and 4th `a` tags in the above example, how would you do that? The only thing I can think of is: ``` $("#myDiv a:eq(1), #myDiv a:eq(2), #myDiv a:eq(3)") ``` But that doesn't look to be very efficient or pretty. I guess you could also select ALL the `a`s and then do run `.each` over them, but that could get very inefficient if there were a lot more `a`s.
