Question

Given the following HTML:

<div id="table-filters">
    <ul>
        <li class="active">blah</li>
        <li>blah</li>
        <li>blah</li>
        <li>blah</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Using table-filters as the jQuery selector, how can I clear out the elements having CLASS=ACTIVE, no matter which LI it happens to be on?

thanks

Answer 1

This should work:

$("#table-filters>ul>li.active").removeClass("active");
//Find all `li`s with class `active`, children of `ul`s, children of `table-filters`
