title: How to select a range of elements in jQuery
body: <pre><code>&lt;div id="myDiv"&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
       &lt;a&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you wanted to select the 2nd, 3rd and 4th <code>a</code> tags in the above example, how would you do that? The only thing I can think of is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#myDiv a:eq(1), #myDiv a:eq(2), #myDiv a:eq(3)")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that doesn't look to be very efficient or pretty. I guess you could also select ALL the <code>a</code>s and then do run <code>.each</code> over them, but that could get very inefficient if there were a lot more <code>a</code>s.</p>
