Question

I want to add .hover() to every anchor in my website, except those that already have .hover() [added .hover() separately before].

I have no idea how to do it in jQuery or if its possible.
If its not possible, I have another idea but again, I dont know how to do it or if its possible.

The idea goes like that: can I add .hover() effect to every anchor except those are in parent div with id “test” and those are in parent div with id “test2”?

Thanks!.

Answer 1

Many ways to do this, some of which are.

First

$('a').not('#test a, #test2 a'); 

Second

var divs_to_test = $('#test').add('#test2');
$('a').filter(function(){ 
    return !$(this).parent().is(divs_to_test); 
});
