has selector
Description: Selects elements which contain at least one element that matches the specified selector.
-
version added: 1.1.4jQuery( ":has(selector)" )
selector: Any selector.
The expression $( "div:has(p)" )
matches a <div>
if a <p>
exists anywhere among its descendants, not just as a direct child.
Additional Notes:
- Because
:has()
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using:has()
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOMquerySelectorAll()
method. For better performance in modern browsers, use$( "your-pure-css-selector" ).has( selector/DOMElement )
instead.
Example:
Adds the class "test" to all divs that have a paragraph inside of them.
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>has demo</title> <style> .test { border: 3px inset red; } </style> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> </head> <body> <div><p>Hello in a paragraph</p></div> <div>Hello again! (with no paragraph)</div> <script> $( "div:has(p)" ).addClass( "test" ); </script> </body> </html>
