Re: [Solved] Tricky :nth-child question

[Chris Coyier]

Great question! And, I don’t really think so, not with :nth-child or CSS anything anyway.

With jQuery, I’d go something like:

var $collection = $("li");

var numberOfThem = $collection.length;

var nextToLast = $collection[numberOfThem - 1];

so nextToLast is a DOM node of the next to last list item.
