    </div>
</div>

How do I select the last element with two different class names?

Tried using

$("col1:last,col2:last)

but it gives back 2 elements

tried

$("col1,col2:last")

and this gives all col1 and last of col2

Answer 1

First get all elements with any of the class names, then pick the last one:

$('.col1,.col2').filter(':last')
