Put var inside jquery :gt()

Question

I have a list set with display:none and some code to show item 3:

HTML:

    
item 1
    
item 2&         


        

Answer 1

You have to use double inverted comma for conacatination beacause you use double inverted comma for selector.

Try this jquery code:

$("li:gt("+item+"):lt(1)").show();
