1. <nav id="nav_bar">
       <ul>
           <li><b><a href="ncs_login.php">NCS Login</a></b></li>"
           <li><a href="net_login.php">Net Login</a></li>"     
           <li><a href="maint_login.php">Maint Login</a></li>
       </ul>
   </nav>

Tried this to hide the first element : $("#nav_bar[ul][li][b][a]").hide(); and it didn't work.

If I just use #nav_bar, of course the whole nav bar gets hidden.

How can I select just that one element?

Thanks for any help!
