Use jQuery to select multiple elements with .eq()

Question

I want to select a subset of tds from a table.

I know before hand what the indexes are, but they are effectively random (not odd or even indexes, etc).

For i

Answer 1

I wrapped VisioN's filter method into a jQuery plugin:

$.fn.eqAnyOf = function (arrayOfIndexes) {
    return this.filter(function(i) {
        return $.inArray(i, arrayOfIndexes) > -1;
    });
};

So now usage is nice and clean:

var $tds = $('table td').eqAnyOf([1, 5, 9]);
