Jquery last element with LT Selector
<p>I'm trying to collapse every element except the last one with this line of Jquery code:</p>

<pre><code>$(".message_list .message_body:lt(:last-child)").hide();
</code></pre>

<p>Nothing collapses with this line. I have tried:</p>

<pre><code>':last child'
:last-child
last()
:last
':last'
</code></pre>

<p>but nothing gives me the last element. How can I select every element less than the last element? What goes in the lt()?</p>
