Whats the equivalent of jQuery "eq()" in Mootools?

I am new to Mootools and have been using jQuery for a while. What I am trying to do is convert some jQuery into mootools.

I have the following written in jQuery : 

var title = $('a:eq(2)').attr('title');

how would you write the equivalent in mootools?

Mootools docs have the answer, use the :index() selector:

$$('a:index(2)');       // Gets the third <a> tag.

To retrieve the title attribute use getProperty:

var title = $('el').getProperty('title');

NB. This applies to MooTools Core v1.4.1

You could use the double dollar function, which returns an array of elements matching the element type you supply -

var title = $$('a')[2].title;
