How can I quickly get a jQuery selector for the textboxes in the the first 5 rows of a table? I have a table with many rows and many textboxes; I'm just trying to select the textboxes in the first 5 rows of the table. Is there an easy way to do this?

You could also have table > thead > tr and then table > tbody > tr. So you might need to specify whether you want the first row from the thead or the tbody. find('tr:first') will select the tr in the thead.
Answer: Use the length Property You can simply use the length property to count or find the number of rows in an HTML table using jQuery. This property can be used to get the number of elements in any jQuery object.
The :first selector selects the first element. Note: This selector can only select one single element. Use the :first-child selector to select more than one element (one for each parent). This is mostly used together with another selector to select the first element in a group (like in the example above).
Use lt()
$('tr:lt(5) input[type=text]')
Note that it's lt(5), not lt(6), since the indexes are 0-based.
