Question

Does anyone know this? or can tell where I’m missing?

this instruction works (only one selector in :not filter)

ie:

$('#menuStato > li > a').find('+ ul > li:not(.toggleMenuActions)')

when I use the :not filter with two or more class selector inside separated by ',' on a selector that start with '+' in a find function

the result is an empty array

ie:

$('#menuStato > li > a').find('+ ul > li:not(.toggleMenuActions, .toggleMenuFooter, .nascosto)')

The same instruction written like the follow works… (I just moved the ' > a ' from the fist brackets to the second one

ie:

$('#menuStato > li').find(' > a + ul > li:not(.toggleMenuActions, .toggleMenuFooter, .nascosto)')

Answer 1

find should retrieve descendents elements, while in your first selector

$('#menuStato > li > a').find('+ ul..)

you’re looking for a sibling element (that’s the reason why instead your last statement

$('#menuStato > li').find(' > a...)

properly works)
