#slideshow > div

means select all div children of #slideshow

console.log($('#slideshow > div')); // = [ div, div, div]

The code above puts all the selected elements in an array.

:gt(0)

selects all the elements Greater Than the index specified. GT = greater than

$("#slideshow > div:gt(0)");

means select all the div children of #slideshow that are greater than index 0.... So it will not select the first one.

some great documentation to browse through. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_started/Selectors https://api.jquery.com/gt-selector/
