Somehow I don't get the concept of get() right. The following expression gives an error;
$('p.fl').get(0).css('background', 'red'); Now what I'm trying to do here is select the first paragraph from all the paragraphs with a class of "fl". After that I'm just trying to get a visual id by making it red but it's more about grabbing the element really. There's probably a very good reason why this doesn't work but what I understand from documentation this should work? This ultimate goal is to hide a paragraph based on it's index. This index is gotten from a clicked link. So far I've got this, but it's stuck on the get() part. $('a.leesmeer').click(function() { var nmbr = $('a.leesmeer').index(this); $('p.fl').get(nmbr).hide(); $('div.case').get(nmbr).show(); return false; });
