Thanks Erik. That worked perfectly. It was one of those "duhhhhh..."
moments as I read your email. I tried taking the "not" filter out of
the initial expression and chaining it onto the end but still only used
an expression rather than using a Jquery array. I did notice the index
method is actually faster than pulling 900 rows and filtering out 870 of
them for a selection but at least I know how to accomplish this in the
future.
Thanks again.

Try this:
$('.sMarker ~ row', myTable).not($('.eMarker ~ row', myTable))
That will get what you want, but I think it won't include the .sMarker
row. To get .sMarker also, maybe try:
$('.sMarker,.sMarker ~ row', myTable).not($('.eMarker ~ row', myTable))
You can also do it by index without each() like this:
var $rows = $('row', myTable);
var $range = $rows.slice($rows.index($rows.filter('.sMarker')),
$rows.index($rows.filter('.eMarker'))+1);
Hope it helps.

I really don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this
(maybe its the
two monsters and three cups of coffee) but I'm trying to select a
range of
rows in a 1000 row xhtml table, between starting row with class
"sMarker"
and ending row with class "eMarker". I'm trying to use the following
selector...
$('.sMarker ~ row:not(".eMarker ~ row")',myTable)
In my mind this should take my ".sMarker" row, grab all sibling
rows after,
and then filter out any rows that come after my ".eMarker" row.
Or am I
just overthinking this?
Currently that selector will select ALL rows after my ".sMarker"
excluding
the single row marked with ".eMarker".
Note: To filter out any responses that are blindingly obvious,
the table
row tags in my xhtml are really "row" not tr.
I don't know how else to get this "between" functionality without
using
indexes and the each iteration is a huge performance loss when
dealing with
larger tables.
Please help because I can not wrap my head around this one this
morning.
Thanks,
