Question

jsFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/_mtr/uqMZJ/

Basically, a table with rows, only 10 or so are not hidden when the document is ready. I want the index of the last non-hidden row, but my jQuery selectors are letting me down.

Answer 1

You’re misusing the :last-child selector, which matches elements that are the last child of their parent. You actually want the last element in the matched set, so you should use the :last selector instead:

i2 = $('table .visible:last').index();
