:nth-of-type() in jQuery / Sizzle?

Question

It surprised me that Sizzle (the selector engine jQuery uses) comes with a built-in :nth-child() selector, but lacks an :nth-of-type() selector.

Answer 1

the jQuery plugin moreSelectors has support for nth-of-type (and many other selectors). I suggest either using that, or simply implement a simple plugin that only implements the exact selectors you need. You should be able to copy-paste code from there.

Happy hacking!
