I want to check the li that is the last li in ul. How can I check that using jQuery?

Answer 1

Just use the :last-child selector :

$('#ulscroller li:last-child')

For example, if you want to know if it has the selected class you may do

if ($('#ulscroller li:last-child').hasClass('selected')) {
   // do something
}
