3.3. Reducing the Selection Set to a Specified Item

3.3.1. Problem

A jQuery selector is broad and selects all elements on the page based on your query. The need may rise when you need to select a single item, based on its position, but there isn’t an easy way to select that item without editing the code.

3.3.2. Solution

After you make your selection with jQuery, you can chain the .eq() method and pass in the index of the selection you want to work with.
