How to get nth jQuery element

Question

In jQuery, $("...").get(3) returns the 3rd DOM element. What is the function to return the 3rd jQuery element?

Answer 1

You can use the :eq selector, for example:

$("td:eq(2)").css("color", "red"); // gets the third td element

Or the eq(int) function:

$("td").eq(2).css("color", "red");

Also, remember that the indexes are zero-based.
