Question

How would I go about getting a “div” based on its’ position in HTML.

For example, in default Javascript, you do:

document.getElementsByTagName("div")[5]

However, I can’t find a way to do it in jQuery. I’d imagine it to be something like:

$("div")[5]

If it isn’t possible, please tell me a way around it because I am clueless at this point.

Thanks so much, it’s the last thing I need in this website I am working on.

Answer 1

document.getElementsByTagName("div")[5] is equivalent to $('div')[5]

If you want the jQuery object instead of the node…

$('div:nth-child(6)');

Nth child starts on 1 versus indexes start at 0
