Why ":last" and ":last-child" does not work?

Question

I'm trying to select the last div with class my_class inside div with id a.
I tried several options with :last and :last-child but none of them worked.
Here is on try.

What am I doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Looks like you selected MooTools instead of jQuery in the left hand options.

Answer 2

Your selector works, you just weren't including jQuery in your fiddle, here's an updated/fixed version: http://jsfiddle.net/eU7By/3/

On the left panel, make sure to select jQuery as your library, by default it's MooTools that's included...it is after all built by the MooTools guys :)

Answer 3

This should work for you:

$("#a div.my_class:last");

fiddled -- oh and the reason your example wasn't working is because you had jsFiddle set to MooTools, not jQuery.
