Question

Take look at this example http://jsfiddle.net/hKASH/

    <div id="a">
    <div class="parent">
        <span>one</span>
        <span>two</span>
        <span>three</span>
    </div>
    <div class="parent">
        <span>one</span>
        <span>two</span>
    </div>
</div>

$('#a .parent').children().slice(1).css('float', 'right');

I want to select children groups separately for each parent, “one” must stay left, others must go to right.

Now it looks like I have children() with 5 elements, I want to have 2 groups with 3 and 2 elements.

Thanks

Answer 1

use each() function to loop through each parent

try this

 $('#a .parent').each(function(){
   $(this).children().slice(1).css('float', 'right');
 });
