Question

Recently I’m getting stuck on this. I have a set of text boxes that have the same name like this:

<p><input type="text" name="test[]" /></p>
<p><input type="text" name="test[]" /></p>
<p><input type="text" name="test[]" /></p>

So what I need to do is select the 2nd element of group. I tried to alert

$('input[name="test['2']"]').val(); but it doesn’t work.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

You may use eq :

$('input[name="test[]"]').eq(1).val();

or :eq :

$('input[name="test[]"]:eq(1)').val();

Note that the index is zero-based in both cases
