I'm filtering the entire DOM to replace some strings with other strings.
For this I wrote the following code:
$('body :not(script)').contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType === 3;
}).replaceWith(function() {
return this.nodeValue.replace('T 0','T 0');
});
How can I exclude some areas? For example I want the DIV with the class .example not to be considered.
I tried the following:
$('body :not(script):not(.example)').contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType === 3;
}).replaceWith(function() {
return this.nodeValue.replace('T 0','T 0');
});
Why does this not seem to work?
Right now, you're telling jQuery to exclude the node .example, which has children nodes, that WILL be included.
In your :not() selector add an * after the class. This will tell jQuery to exclude all nodes underneath the parent node.
In CSS the * is a universal selector
The CSS universal selector (*) matches elements of any type.
Here's a working version:
(Please note that I changed the to - to visually show the change)
$( "input:not(:checked) + span" ).css( "background-color", "yellow" );
$( "input").attr( "disabled", "disabled" );
$('body :not(script):not(div.example *)').contents().filter(function() {
return this.nodeType === 3;
}).replaceWith(function() {
return this.nodeValue.replace('T 0','T--0');
