Sounds like a good idea - I guess the next step is to submit a bug?
In the meantime - perhaps there is a different way to solve the
problem I am tackling. If it's messy enough perhaps the need for added
.not() functionality will be clarified.
I am aiming to select every li whose immediate children ol elements
ALL have a particular attribute set (previously with javascript).
Example HTML:
...
<ol>
<li> <!-- This li should NOT be selected -->
<ol> <!-- As this li lacks attribute 'kids' -->
<li>...</li>
</ol>
<ol kids="4">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
<ol kids="2">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li> <!-- This li should be selected -->
<ol kids="3"> <!-- As this li AND... -->
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
<ol kids="1"> <!-- this li both have attribute 'kids' -->
<li>...</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
...
Another way of expressing what I'm trying to do:
$("li").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'undefined']]")...
Obviously this doesn't work on a number of levels.
It occured to me that I could, earlier in the process, set kids to 0
on every ol. Allowing for something more like
$("li").not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'0']]")...
But this didn't solve my fundamental problem - how do I check
attributes of ALL the children of the li?
Am I asking the right question?
My mind is a soup of confused double negatives ;/
Happy New Year!
