:nth-child() selector, multiple nth-child

Question

I am trying to get click event on table headers and that is easy with jQuery. I want click event to be active on all headers except first header.

I am escaping first header with :nth-child() property of CSS.

This is how i am doing-

$(function(){
$('th:nth-child(2 3 4 5)').click(function(){
$(this).CSS("font-weight","bolder");
});
});

I don't get result. Is there any better way i could do it with :nth-child() itself?

Answer 1

You can use :not.

$('th:not(:first-child)').click(function(){

OR

You can use :gt(0)

$('th:gt(0)').click(function(){

Comment Response

For odd selector you can use :odd jQuery selector.
