Question

I have an HTML table with some <tr> and <td>, and I need to set some attributes to certain <td> elements. So, the problem is:

If I write the selector this way:

$("table tr:not(table tr:first)").css("background","#ccc");

it works fine, but if I try to use a specific table, nothing happens:

$("#tableTit tr:not(#tableTit tr:first)").css("background","#ccc");

What am I missing?

You don’t need to specify the ID a second time. Just do this:

$('#tableTit tr:not(:first)').css(...);

Or as @bažmegakapa suggests in the comments:

$('#tableTit tr').not(':first').css(...);
