Question

I am trying to select an item from a nested list with jquery but I cannot do it so far

This is what I’ve tried so far

Jquery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $target= ("div>ul>li>ol>li:nth-child(4)");
    $target.fadeOut('fast');
});

And this is my html code:

  <div>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <ol>
                    <li>something</li>
                    <li>something</li>
                    <li>something</li>
                    <li>something</li> <--- This is what I am trying to access
                </ol>
            </li>
            <li>something else</li>
            <li>something else</li>
        </ul>
    </div>   

Answer 1

try this

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $target= $("div>ul>li>ol>li:nth-child(4)");
    // or var $target= $("div>ul>li>ol>li:last-child");
    $target.fadeOut('fast');
});

You forgot the $
