Question

How can i express the following in jquery?

Apply a yellow background to every td on a table that contains “$” but does NOT contain img src=”images/plus.gif”

I could do it just for the contain part using:

$("#SubscribersManageList tr:contains('$')").css("background", "yellow");

But its not what i want, what i want is to select those tr that CONTAIN “$” but DONT contain the image src=”images/plus.gif”, and then apply yellow background to those tr.

Anyone?

You can combine the :not() and :has() selectors:

$("#SubscribersManageList td:contains('$'):not(:has(img[src='images/plus.gif']))")
    .css("background", "yellow");
