you could use the :eq() selector: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/eq#index

Hey Jquery hackers: I'm doing some work with the Xpath plugin and I notice it doesn't support expressions like: /html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[3] (Used to select the search box on www.google.com!) I would like to extend the plugin to support this kind of expression. Because (to my knowledge) CSS selectors don't specify a way of selecting specific child elements I believe that the best way to run the selector recursively: Given the selector: /html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[3] Run 1st: /html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td Get the 2nd result. Run 2nd: td/input Run td/input on the final result of the 1st run. Return the 3rd result. Does anyone else have any experience tackling this kind of problem? (or know about a CSS selector rule that does this : P) Thanks, John
