Using jQuery :gt() with $(this)

Question

I have an issue with using $(this) and :gt() together.

I'm trying to convert this pseudo code into working code:

$(this).children().gt(3).show();

Will this work? I am trying to show the children of this with an index over 3.

Answer 1

gt is only a selector as far as I know, not a function, try

$(this).children(":gt(3)")

or

$(this).children().slice(3)
