Question

I am using jQuery 1.6.2

I am having a little trouble tweaking my jQuery. I need to find a specific cell and change its color attribute.

The first row may or may not be the one that I am looking for. The row I am looking for may or may not have a class. If the first row has a class of “TableSubHead”, then I don’t want to turn the last cell of its row yellow. I want to move on to the following row, and turn its last cell yellow.

In pseudocode, it should read like this:

Look in the OrderHeaderTable. Find the first row that doesn’t have a class of TableSubHead and turn the last cell yellow.

Here’s my code

$("#OrderHeaderTable tr:first(:not.TableSubHead").children("td:last").css("background", "yellow");

Can you help me tweak it to get what I want?

Answer 1

I believe

$("#OrderHeaderTable tr:first(:not.TableSubHead")

should be

$("#OrderHeaderTable tr:not(.TableSubHead):first")
