[Koha] Courser reserves on OPAC

[Eric Phetteplace]

Hmm you can ignore the bit about N and N + 1, it seems like jQuery
replicates the nth-child behavior in its selector. So my first (JavaScript)
example would remove the third column, while the CSS example would remove
the fourth, both behaving as you would expect.

Best,
