[jQuery] Can I select just one?

[jQuery] Can I select just one?


Hi folks,
I've not really had a need to do this before, but is it possible to
tell jQuery that when doing a selection I just want the first one
found?
I know that I can reference the zeroth element in the array of
matches. As it happens, right now I've got a need to just get the
first occurance of x, and instead of returning all of them, I'd like
to just return the first one.
Any thoughts?
Chris
