How to get jQuery to find the first list-item, rather than all list-items?
I'm trying to implement a basic jQuery infinite carousel. As much for the learning process as for anything else (as a rule I'm not a fan of re-inventing wheels, but...I have to learn somehow, might as well start with the basics).
I've managed to get the list to animate left happily enough, but I'm stuck when it comes to selecting the first element of the list. I've tried to use:
$('ul#services > li:first');
$('ul#services > li:first-child');
$('ul#services > li').eq([0]);
(xhtml below),
In each case a console.log(first) (the var name used) returns all of the list-items. Am I doing something blatantly, and obviously, wrong?
The eventual plan is to clone the first li, append it to the parent ul, remove the li from the list and allow the list to scroll infinitely. It's just a list of services rather than links so I'm not -at the moment- planning to have scroll or left/right functionality.

Updated, in response to Nick Craver's answer:
...I believe you want:
$('ul#services li:first').remove();...What you probably want there is something like$('ul#services > li:first').delay(500)...
Using $('ul#services li:first').remove(); generates the error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'remove'
and there seems to be no difference in behaviour from using $('ul#services > li:first').delay(500)...
Since you're learning it, I won't do all the corrections here, but here are the main points:
This is erroring: $('ul#services').get(0).remove();
I believe you want: $('ul#services li:first').remove();
This is the main reason for what you're seeing: $('ul#services > li').delay(500)...
This starts the animation on each of the child <li> and what you see is 10 console.log because you're kicking off carousel 10 times, 1 for each <li>.
What you probably want there is something like $('ul#services > li:first').delay(500)...
All of that make sense? I'm not exactly sure what you want the end result to be, just trying to explain your current behavior.

$('ul#services li:first)
is correct, your problem must be elsewhere, try .first() ?
