Hey John,
Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated.
I played around with using $("span:first-child").parent("div"), but it
selects the opposite of what I need (divs *with* a span:first-child
rather than divs *without* a span:first-child).
Is there a way to remove the above from a larger set of matches -- say,
find all divs, then remove divs with a span:first-child? I've been
trying filter() and not(), but without any luck.
Thanks,
Luke
