last selectorversion deprecated: 3.4
Description: Selects the last matched element.
version added: 1.0jQuery( ":last" )
As of jQuery 3.4, the :last
pseudo-class is deprecated. Remove it from your selectors and filter the results later using .last()
.
Note that :last
selects a single element by filtering the current jQuery collection and matching the last element within it.
Additional Notes:
- Because
:last
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using:last
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOMquerySelectorAll()
method. To achieve the best performance when using:last
to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use.filter(":last")
.
Example:
Finds the last table row.
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>last demo</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td>First Row</td></tr> <tr><td>Middle Row</td></tr> <tr><td>Last Row</td></tr> </table> <script> $( "tr" ).last().css({ backgroundColor: "yellow", fontWeight: "bolder" }); </script> </body> </html>
