[jQuery] .eq() vs .slice()

[jQuery] .eq() vs .slice()


I'm making some modifications to an older project that originally used
jQuery 1.1.2. I've installed 1.2.6 and am in the process of reviewing
and upgrading the code based on the changes documented at
http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2#Removed_Functionality
There are many places in this project where .eq(n) is used. From
reading this group I've seen that .eq( ) went away with 1.2 but was
brought back in 1.2.1? I also don't see any mention of .eq being
deprecated in the latest docs at http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing/eq#index.
Do I still need replace all instances of .eq with .slice? IMO, .eq
reads easier.
If I do, then for any integer n I simply replace .eq(n) with .slice(n,
1)?
Thanks
