Question

i have a event i trigger on every link in my site.

but then i want it to NOT trigger on links i’ve got class=’nofocus’ on.

for example

 <a>link</a>
 <a class='nofocus'>register</a>

 $('a').live('click', function() {
     $('#searchbox').focus();
 }

how do i rewrite the $(‘a) so the second link wont trigger the event?

Answer 1

Try the :not() selector (docs):

$('a:not(.nofocus)').live('click', function() {
    $('#searchbox').focus();
}
