DOM Traversal Methods
Consider a page with a simple list on it:
list item 1
list item 2
list item 3
list item 4
list item 5
We can apply this method to the set of list items:
$('li').lt(2)
The result of this call is a jQuery object wrapping items 1 and 2. Note that the
supplied index is 0-based, and refers to the position of elements within the jQuery
object, not within the DOM tree.
.gt()
Reduces the set of matched elements to the ones after the specified index.
.gt(index)
Parameters
• index: An integer indicating the 0-based position after which the elements
are selected
Return Value
The new jQuery object.
Description
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .gt method
constructs a new jQuery object from a subset of the matching elements. The supplied
index identifies the position of one of the elements in the set; all elements after this
one will be included in the result.
Consider a page with a simple list on it:
list item 1
list item 2
list item 3
