What's the best way to access a specific item in a list? and use it as a selector?
You can use .eq()
or :eq()
to get the jQuery object in a list:
$('ul li').eq(1).text();
//or:
$('ul :eq(1)').text();
You can try a demo here. When you get .get()
you're getting a DOM element, which doesn't have any jQuery functions on it. Remember that both of these are 0-based so you'll need 1
to get the "Yes" in your example.
There are also other basic filters you may be interested in, for example :lt()
(less-than-index), :gt()
(greater-than-index), :first
, :last
and several others.
