Question

Trying to assemble a rather complex jQuery selector here, and having trouble.

Essentially, I’m trying to grab all anchors that that 1) do not have a ‘rel’ of ‘facebox’, and OR 2) do not have an ‘href’ that begins with ‘mailto’.

This is what I’ve been trying to do:

$('a[rel!=facebox], a[href!^='mailto']') 

Small variations of this don’t seem to work. Is there some better way of going about this?

These selectors seem to work individually, but not when sitting consecutively in the same selector:

$('a:not([rel=facebox]), a:not([href^=mailto])') 

Final solution: We have a winner!

$('a:not([rel=facebox],[href^=mailto])') 

Answer 1

You want the :not selector

$('a:not([rel=facebox],[href^=mailto])');
