<i>Unlike the .eq(index) method, the :eq(index) selector <b>does not accept a negative value</b> for index. For example, while $('li').eq(-1) selects the last li element, $('li:eq(-1)') selects nothing.</i><br />

Try this : <br />
$('#myTable tr').eq(-2).find('input[na<wbr />me=&quot;id0&quot;]'<wbr />).attr('na<wbr />me', 'id1');

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
