I've been trying to write a selector in jQuery which selects a button with a class in the second last td of the first tr in a table. This is what I've come up with so far:
$(':button.jtable-edit-command-button tr:first td:nth-last-of-type(2)').trigger('click');
But it doesn't work.
I've also tried this:
$(':button.jtable-edit-command-button:td:nth-last-of-type(2):tr:first').trigger('click');
But I get an error which says:
Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: td
Here's the JS Fiddle and this W3 Schoosls tutorial is what I'm using for help. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You could use:
$('.jtable-data-row:first-child td:nth-last-of-type(2) button').css('background', 'red');<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
