filtering with not() by using parent()

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

Hi list...

I want to get all the div.action that don't have div.tandem as their parent. I've tried all sorts of things, but I can't quite get it. I'm sure this is easy, but it's eluding me. Any tips are appreciated.

Something like:

$(".taskRow div.action").not(.parent("div.tandem")) ?

thanks,

- Michael M.

</div>

</div>

</div>

this should work:

$(".taskRow > div.action").doSomething();

or if you must use :not, try:

$(".taskRow div.action").filter(function(){

return $(this).parent().is(":not(.tandem)");

}).doSomething();

Thanks Kevin. Of course...the direct child selector! The issue is that the event is coming from one of the divs, so I have to go to the parent and back down to get the div height that's not within div.tandem.
