If I have a grid composed of row and cell div element as follows: <div class="grid"> <div class="row"> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> <div class="cell"/> </div> </div>
Assuming I have a 'grid' variable pointing to the top grid div, and I want to return all the cells in the first 'column'. I would expect something like the following to work: $("> div > div:eq(0)", grid). Actually, this doesn't work. it returns only the very first (top-left) cell. To get what I want I need to do something like: $("> div:eq(0)",$("> div", grid)) I suppose that operator precedence is applying the eq(0) in the first statement to the entire selection AFTER both children operators, but this is counter-intuitive as the :eq(0) implies that it is applied specifically to the second '>div' selector - Eric --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
