[jQuery] How should :nth-of-type work?
Just canvassing opinions on the :nth-of-type() selector that is in now being tested in the http://www.softwareunity.com/sandbox/JQueryMoreSelectors/ Selectors Plugin (plus other ...-of-type selectors). At face value it would http://www.nabble.com/nth-of-type-not-working-in-some-cases-tf2356344.html#a6571942 appear to be the same as :eq() but I think there's more to it... In a JQuery set containing 3 DIVs and 3 SPANs (#div0, #div1, #div2, #span0, #span1 #span2), I would expect :eq(1) to return only div1, but :nth-of-type(1) to return div1 and span1. Does this seem correct to you? Taking it a step further, if the set also contains another 3 DIVs (#divX, #divY, and #divZ) that are not siblings of div0,1,2 (ie they have different parents) then my current implementation of :nth-of-type(1) will return div1, span1 and divY. I think I've done it wrong. Should it still return only div1 and span1? I think I've done :nth-sibling-of-type() by mistake!

Good point J?rn, thank you. (I've not found a good use for :nth-of-type() myself, but someome will!) More interesting as it turns out, is the :nth-sibling-of-type() selector that I created accidentally... It turns out to be a simple way of returning TD elements in the same column of a table. Here are two examples on a form and a table: http://www.softwareunity.com/sandbox/JQueryMoreSelectors/nth-of-type/ Original test page is here: http://www.softwareunity.com/sandbox/JQueryMoreSelectors/ George J?rn Zaefferer wrote: Do you have an example at hand where this selector is actaully useful? -- J?rn -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-should-%3Anth-of-type-work--tf2375279.html#a6621407 Sent from the JQuery mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] How should :nth-of-type work?
I use to have all the *type selectors implemented, but after a quick survery I couldn't find anyone who actually used them (and who could've just used :nth-child() instead). Although, its' probably a good idea to have these in an external plugin, for completeness, in case anyone wants them. Good work George. --John Good point J?rn, thank you.
