Thanks for the report, Pete. It sounds like my suspicion was correct -
jQuery applies the :gt() to the *entire* result set at that point, instead
of the immediately preceding selector.
Iin other words, this selector:
.itemList .item:gt(9)
is interpreted as (using double parens to indicate grouping):
(( .itemList .item )) :gt(9)
Personally I find this a bit counterintuitive - I would have naively
expected it to be interpreted as:
.itemList (( .item:gt(9) ))
I'll take this up in the dev group - thanks for checking it out.
