Perfect. But just for future helpfulness of anyone coming across this
post- I simplified my code above, it actually looks like
> > <div class="insidepost">
<iframe>Blah Blah Blah</iframe>
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
> > <p>paragraph 1</p>
> > <p>paragraph 2</p>
> > <p>paragraph 3</p>
> > </div>
As a consequence I need to use $(".insidepost p:nth-child(3)").addClass
("caminfo"); to get it to add that class to the FIRST paragraph. Not
sure why it counts other items in the list of children. . . or maybe I
don't quite understand how the child works - I thought it was just
counting the P children inside the div.
Anyway - Thanks Ricardo, appreciate the help.
