My hunch is that your code is running before the html elements have loaded.
Your 'update' to this post is the right direction to go in. Typically one
would use Jquery's cunning ready() event to tell us when the dom has loaded
enough to get going. The ready() method takes a function as a param so that
is probably why your updated code worked.
So your code would look like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Do everything inside this ready function.
alert( $("#my li").get(2).text() );
});
You can use the shorthand syntax to make this slightly simpler:
$(function(){
alert( $("#my li").get(2).text() );
});
The solution you stumbled on is kind of right. Slightly less readable but
you'll soon realise the benefits
Hope this helps!
