I was going through a p rewritten jQuery code . I’m not able to understand the following code .
$('body > *:not(#print-modal):not(script)').clone();
This selector matches any tag that is:
<body>print-modaland<script>tag.It then clones all these elements with
.clone(), although nothing is done with theclone()d object, which is strange.A more in-depth explanation:
body > *means “select all elements that are direct descendants of<body>“, the wildcard*selecting every tag. Next, the two:not()pseudo-classes filter remove the element with the IDprint_modal, as well as any<script>tags.Reference:
:not()selector
