Question

I'd like to be grab the next to last TR in a table.

$("#TableID tr:last")

gets the very last one, is there some way I can get the TR prior to that one?

Answer 1

When a negative index is specified for eq, it starts counting backwards from the end.

.eq( -index )

-index An integer indicating the position of the element, counting backwards from the last element in the set.

$('#TableID tr').eq(-2)

Answer 2

Sure, you could do it with the .slice method:

$('#TableID tr').slice(-2, -1).addClass('dark');
