Could you show us the markup? – Andrew M Dec 03 '10 at 21:38 — Andrew M, Dec 03 '10 at 21:38
And what error do you see with the second line of code? – Sean Vieira Dec 03 '10 at 21:38 — Sean Vieira, Dec 03 '10 at 21:38

What about nextAll().eq(2) ? That should be the third item. And append .text() afterwards. If that's not it, can you provide the markup?

.eq() is working on the set of matched elements in the chain. So

jQuery(this).find('title').eq(3)

is finding the 4th of a set of elements matching .find('title').

what you probably want is

jQuery(this).find('title').nextAll().eq(2).text()
