Question

How can I select:

• all rows in a table (except the first row)
• where each TD in a row does not contain a table?

I’ve tried:

var tbl = grd.find("tr:gt(0)").find("tr:not(:has(table)");

But this doesn’t return any rows.

This assumes you’re targeting the rows of the outermost table element.

$('#mytable > tbody > tr').slice(1)
                          .filter('tr:not(:has(table))');

Or if grd is the outer table…

grd.children()
   .children()
   .slice(1)
   .filter('tr:not(:has(table))');
