:last-child Selector
last-child selector
version added: 1.1.4jQuery(':last-child')
Description: Selects all elements that are the last child of their parent.
While :last matches only a single element, :last-child can match more than one: one for each parent.
Example:
Finds the last span in each matched div and adds some css plus a hover state.
