Hi Clint,
The dt element should never be the parent of a dd. Maybe you were
thinking of dl?
In that case you could select a dl that has a hidden dd descendant
element this way:
$('dl:has(dd:hidden)').addClass('menu_bg').trigger('click');

Im new to using jquery so forgive my question that is probably so
simple.
Im trying to select the parent of element that contains a hidden
element.
In my case I need to grab the dt that contains hidden dd's.
this is what I have but is not working:
$('dt').has('dd:hidden').addClass('menu_bg').trigger('click');
Ive also tried:
$('dd:hidden:parent').addClass('menu_bg').trigger('click');
and Ive tried many other variations but cant seem to get it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Clint
