:last Selector
Categories: jQuery Extensions | Basic Filter
jQuery(':last')
Description: Selects the last matched element.
-
jQuery(':last')
version added: 1.0
Note that :last
selects a single element by filtering the current jQuery collection and matching the last element within it.
Note:
Because:last
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :last
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll()
method. To achieve the best performance when using :last
to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use .filter(":last")
.
-
Finds the last table row.
HTML:
<table> <tr><td>First Row</td></tr> <tr><td>Middle Row</td></tr> <tr><td>Last Row</td></tr> </table>
Code:
$("tr:last").css({backgroundColor: 'yellow', fontWeight: 'bolder'});
