last-child selector
Description: Selects all elements that are the last child of their parent.
jQuery(':last-child')
version added: 1.1.4
While :last matches only a single element, :last-child can match more than one: one for each parent.
Examples
Finds the last span in each matched div and adds some css plus a hover state.
$("div span:last-child")
.css({color:"red", fontSize:"80%"})
.hover(function () {
$(this).addClass("solast");
}, function () {
$(this).removeClass("solast");
});
