I'm trying to dynamically style some elements on my pages. So, if I had the following code:
<a href="#">
Select Me
</a>
<a href="#">
<img src="blah.jpg" />
Don't select me
</a>
<a href="#">
<div>Don't select me either</div>
<img src="blah.jpg" />
</a>
<a href="#">
<div>You can select me too.</div>
</a>
I would like it to select the first and fourth tags.
From what I could tell, by using:
$("a:first-child")
Won't select the first tag because it doesn't have any children (just text). The second tag should not get selected so something like:
$("a:first-child").not("img)
but that leaves out the first item.
EDIT: If there is an IMG anywhere in the A element, don't select it.
