Question

Is there a selector available in jQuery to do something like:

$(this).closest('tr:count(tr>2)');

Context of this is an <input> element within a <td>.

Disclaimer: I know this can be done with .length .size .filter .not etc but I wonder if there is a nice way to do this just using CSS selectors.

Answer 1

Didn’t test, but probably

$(this).closest('tr:not(:only-child)')

assuming a tr will only have tr sisters, which is not unreasonable.
