Quick question, I’m targeting all the article elements in my html5 page using:

var articles = $("article");

What I want to do is target one of the article elements using an index only. I can’t seem to get it to work, any ideas?:

articles[1].css("display", "none");  // <-- This won't work

Answer 1

You can use the .eq() function to target a specific index,

$("article").eq(1).css("display", "none");

According to the jQuery documentation referenced above,

Reduce the set of matched elements to
the one at the specified index.
