Your jQuery code should be wrapped inside `$(document).ready(function() { // put all your jQuery goodness in here. });` — Muleskinner, Feb 04 '13 at 11:13

yes that much i know if u do have a answer then reply @Muleskinner — Santosh Mishra, Feb 04 '13 at 12:25
Note that `.live` is no longer supported in the latest versions of jQuery. Hard to tell if that is the problem as you do not mention which version you use. Could you post your code (including your valid html) to jsfiddle? — Muleskinner, Feb 04 '13 at 12:38

Try this,

Live Demo

//To hide
$('th:gt(2)').hide();
$('td:gt(2)').hide();

//To show
$('th:gt(2)').show();
$('td:gt(2)').show();

Do you want to collapse columns or rows? check the statement in question "i want to collapse last three columns of the table" – Adil Feb 04 '13 at 12:30
What does this mean in your previous comment "but due to this code my 1st row is getting collapsed.i want to do this with last three rows" – Adil Feb 04 '13 at 12:34
that means my all 5 table headings are getting collapsed that means entire 1st row – Santosh Mishra Feb 04 '13 at 12:36
In dome all the columns are not collapsing ? – Adil Feb 04 '13 at 12:39

You miss a comma between th:eq(4) and td:eq(2) in both hide and show.

A working example based on your code can be seen here at jsFiddle.

Note that as you are using .live you cannot use the latest version of jQuery.
