jQuery Filtering

You can filter the search for elements based on their position in a group of elements.

The most basic filtering methods are first(), last() and eq(), which allow you to select a specific element based on its position in a group of elements.

Other filtering methods, like filter() and not() allow you to select elements that match, or do not match, a certain criteria.

Example

$("div").first();
