Question

So lets say i have the following html:

<div class="con">
    <ul>
        <li class="a">1</li>
        <li class="b">2</li>
        <li class="c">3</li>
        <li class="d">4</li>
        <li class="e">5</li>
        <li class="f">6</li>
        <li class="g">7</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Lets say i have given <li class="g"> an absolute position of -20px (and the containing div .con has a relative position).

How would i tell jquery to select the LI element at -20px within the .con div and do an action on it?

Answer 1

You can get all the li elements and filter out the one using a function:

$('.con li').filter(function(){ return $(this).position().left == 20; })
