Good point Pierre! Well noted. TKS. Any others possible differences? MaurĂcio -----Mensagem Original----- De: Pierre Bellan Para: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Enviada em: quarta-feira, 10 de junho de 2009 13:25 Assunto: [jQuery] Re: :eq versus eq()
With the traversing method, you can match a set of elements then select, for example, the third one $('.myclass,#myid').eq(2) I didn't use the traversing method but i think that is one of possible usage Pierre 2009/6/10 Maujor <css.mau...@gmail.com> According jQuery documentation [1][2] :eq returns Array <Element> and eq() returns one jQuery object. What does means "Array <Element>"? It is a single element? By the other hand eq() => "Reduce the set of matched elements to a single element." So, both returns a single element and it seems to me that there isn't any difference between :eq and eq(). Is one faster than the other? Why are there two sintaxes to achieve the same task? Or am I missing sometghing?
