You can use the  eq selector  for example      td eq 2    css  color    red       gets the third td element   Or the eq int  function      td   eq 2  css  color    red      Also  remember that the indexes are zero-based

if you have control over the query which builds the jQuery object  use  eq       div eq 2      If you don t have control over it  for example  it s being passed from another function or something   then use  eq    var  thirdElement    jqObj eq 2     Or if you want a section of them  say  the third  fourth and fifth elements   use  slice    var  third4th5thElements    jqObj slice 2  5

For iterations using a selector doesn t seem to make any sense though   var some                for  i   some length -1  i gt  0  --i           Have to transform in a jquery object again           var item      some  i             use item at will

Why not browse the  short  selectors page first   Here it is  the  eq   operator  It is used just like get    but it returns the jQuery object   Or you can use  eq   function too

I think you can use this      ul li nth-child 2    append   lt span gt  - 2nd  lt  span gt       It finds the second li in each matched ul and notes it

If you already have the jquery object in a variable  you can also just treat it as a normal indexed array  without the use of jquery   var all rows      tr    for var i 0  i  lt  all rows length  i        var row   all rows i        additionally  you can use it again in a jquery selector      row  css  background-color   black        Although the above example is not useful in any way  it is representing how you can treat objects created by jquery as indexed arrays
