Question

I have a div called foxcontainer with a form inside, and inside the form each input box is in its own div, and all are without a name (except the first one, foxcontainer).

How do I select the 2nd (or 3rd) input box in that form with jquery so I can apply datepicker to it?

Answer 1

As an example, you can use :eq() in selector:

$("#foxcontainer input:eq(1)");  // for 2nd input box

Another option is to use slice():

$("#foxcontainer input").slice(2, 3);    // for 3rd input box
