You are selecting the element with the id and saying that should not have the class. It should be done on the child elements.
console.log($("#main-content > *:not(.ignore)").text());<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id='main-content'>
<div>test 1</div>
<div class='ignore'>ignore test</div>
</div>I want to select a div with an id or class and at the same time exclude a id or class inside the div and get the content as string.
Here is my markup:
<div id='main-content'>
<div>test 1</div>
<div class='ignore'>ignore test</div>
</div>
I tried $('#main-content:not(.ignore)').text();
It is selecting the div with the id main-content, but the class ignore is still in the string. What am I doing wrong?
Here is a fiddle example.
You are saying that #main-content does not have the class
Please include all relevant code here on Stack Overflow, not only on another site. See
@Heretic Monkey Sorry, next time I will do that.
Thant you epascarello. So I was saying that I wanted to select the id “main-content” which didn’t have the class “ignore”. Damn, I thought it was selecting the id “main-content” without the content of the class “ignore”. Thank you again.
