Question

I’m trying to select the last element of a navigation bar that could have x number of elements. I know that jquery selectors are arraylike objects, so I have tried using bracket notation to select the last element:

$(".navLinks")[$(".navLinks").length - 1].text();

This has not worked. Can anyone help me out with this? How do you select an element within a jquery selector and then attach a method to that element?

Answer 1

Use the :last selector:

$(".navLinks:last").text();
