Question

I have this:

var startDate = $(".startdate");

..which should select all elements with the class ‘startdate’.

I then try to do the following:

startDate(".nodate").hide();

…to hide any elements with the ‘nodate’ css class but this fails.

I’m just guessing at syntax here, what silly mistake am I making?

Edit: the ‘nodate’ elements are not at the same level as the ‘startdate’ elements. I should have posted an XHTML snippet.

Answer 1

There are couple of ways :

$('.startdate').find('.nodate').hide();
$('.nodate','.startdate').hide()
$('.startdate > .nodate').hide()
$('.startdate').children('.nodate').hide()
$('.nodate').filter(':parent(is(.startdate))')

My preferred way is the first one, i saw the second one somewhere but didn’t used it. I can’t remember any other way yet. When i remember then i will update the post.
