[jQuery] Re: div contains -> select div but NOT li

[Charlie]

your question isn't very clear . If you are trying to select based on what is inside the div these should help: $("div:contains("Some Text")).// do something or $("div:has(li[class=something])").// do something http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors need to be more specific what you are trying to do. The way your question is written " $("plan"). //do something " would work gostbuster wrote: Hi everyone, I would appreciate some help with what I wanna do. I explain my problem : I want to do a map-like: It means a div with background images, and some elements on it (a bit like in google map : you have the map in background, and stuff you can click over it. well i have this code : <div id="plan"> <ul> <li>....</li> <li>....</li> <li>....</li> </ul> </div> I would like to select #plan but NOT the li element inside. I tried some stuff but didn't succeed. I'm sure experts from here will solve this problem in less in a second. Thank you VERY MUCH in advance.
