.last()
version added: 1.0
[
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .last()
method constructs a new jQuery object from the last matching element.
Consider a page with a simple list on it:
<ul> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> <li>list item 3</li> <li>list item 4</li> <li>list item 5</li> </ul>
We can apply this method to the set of list items:
$('li').last().css('background-color', 'red');
The result of this call is a red background for the final item.
