I want to exclude first and second element from jquery selector. I tried this:

$('p:not(:nth-child(1),:nth-child(2))')

But this only excludes the first element... Thanks

This jQuery sequence uses .slice() to discard the first two elements from the $('p') selector:

$('p').slice(2).

see http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/zWV7Z/

Note that this is not the same as nth-child - the exclusion is based on the whole set of elements found in the first selector, and not on their relative position in the DOM.
