Question

I want to select all divs on a page whose children don’t contain an element with a specific class.

I can select elements whose descendants do contain the class with:

$('div').has('.myClass');

So I just want the inverse of this.

Answer 1

I’d use “.filter()”:

var theDivs = $('div').filter(function() {
  return $(this).find('.myclass').length === 0;
});
