and I want to write a query that selects the 2nd <g> element of
which is following
<g opacity="1" transform="translate(0,549.531741126106)">
<line stroke="currentColor" x2="-6"></line>
<text fill="currentColor" x="-9" dy="0.32em">10,000</text>
</g>
const selector = document.querySelector('.yAxis g:nth-child(3)');
is selecting the correct element but why am I passing 3
as nth-child(3)
value when I am selecting the 2nd
g element of class=yAxis
CodePudding user response:
You have to use > to mention child element like .yAxis > g:nth-child(2)
CodePudding user response:
You should be using :nth-of-type
instead of :nth-child
because the :nth-child
selector will also count the first path
element:
const selector = document.querySelector('.yAxis g:nth-of-type(2)');
console.log(selector.outerHTML);

CodePudding user response:
the path
is first child .
and with .yAxis g:nth-child(3)
you select 2th g
you can use .yAxis g:nth-of-type(2)
