Given your table is named #foo: $(#foo tr:first) // this selector would select the first row
or this would work as well $('#foo tr:eq(0)'); You could then chain it with a native jquery function, "addClass" to add the class. Or as well as toggleClass. The following would result: $('table#foo tr:first').addClass('items_first_entry); // This should add the class "items_first_entry"; - @Chrisjlee On May 24, 5:20 pm, "Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com" <d...@widepixels.com> wrote: > I have a php for each loop that creates rows of data, each row is using the > class .items > > How can apply a style to the very first .item only or add attach a extension > to the .item class so it renders .items_first_entry for the first one? > > Thanks to all > > Dave
