Definition and Usage

The :eq() selector selects an element with a specific index number.

The index numbers start at 0, so the first element will have the index number 0 (not 1).

This is mostly used together with another selector to select a specifically indexed element in a group (like in the example above).

Syntax

$(":eq(index)")

Parameter Description
index Required. Specifies the index of the element
