[jQuery] Re: Nested :eq selector issue?

[Charlie]

I think you'll do better at getting responses with an html example of what you are trying to find. vtjiles wrote: Shouldn't :first be the same as :eq(0)? I set up a basic test page with one div in the body. I ran the following statements to get the HTML element and the first works, but the second actually throws an error. alert($("*:has(BODY > *:first)").eq(0)[0].tagName); alert($("*:has(BODY > *:eq(0))").eq(0)[0].tagName); Other filters work such as alert($("*:has(BODY:has(*))").eq(0) [0].tagName); Any thoughts? This goes along with my post about trying to create a selector which returns the parent, but the solution keeps failing if it has :eq in the filter. http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/916b76084b041d88 Thanks
