:last [api.jquery.com] selects only a single element, the last one matching the selector. What you want is the :last-child [api.jquery.com] selector, which can match more than one. So:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("ul#side-nav ul li:last-child").addClass("last");
});

Hi there greencode,
I know absolutely nothing about "jQuery" other than it seems
like taking a sledgehammer to crack an egg in many instances. ;)
Here is a basic javascript solution to your problem...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="language" content="english">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<title>last li in list</title>
<style type="text/css">
.last,.last a {
color:#f00;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init(){
var lis=document.getElementById('side-nav').getElementsByTagName('li');
lis[lis.length-1].className='last';
}
window.addEventListener?
window.addEventListener('load',init,false):
window.attachEvent('onload',init);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="side-nav">
<li class="trigger"><a href="#">Main heading 1</a></li>
<li class="toggle-container">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li class="trigger"><a href="#">Main heading 2</a></li>
<li class="toggle-container">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

birdbrain, your approach seems to only attach the class to the last <li> element descendant of the element with id 'side-nav', while greencode is looking to attach it to the last <li> element of each <ul> element within 'side-nav'.

Thanks for both your help with this - Fotiman it was indeed the "last-child" that I needed to add and not "last". It's been a long day!
