Thanks for your help

this was the sollution here

$(‘body’).children(‘.class_to_find’);

Thanks

Sorry for bad formating of example, this markdown system in not good.

I may have more than 1 element with the same class in my document, but I need to just find those who are outside any element but body, example

<body>
    <div class="class_to_find">my div</div>
    <div class="testing">
       <div class="class_to_find">my other div</div>
    </div>
</body>

I just want to catch ‘my div’, but of course this

$('body').find('.class_to_find');

does catch all, since they’re all within body, what should I do?

    Use the direct parent-child selector:

    $('body > .class_to_find')....

    or .children(), which only searches direct descendents:

    $('body').children('.class_to_find')...
