Re: [jQuery] select links not children of li

[Andy Matthews]

Okay...
 
So then why wouldn't THIS work:
$('a').filter('li a').click( function() {
        $(this).remove();
        return false;
});

.not(n) only works when n is a filter, like .not(".absolute") or
.not(":visible")... it can not be used to test arbitrary expressions.

On this code:
<a href="">this is a link</a> 
<br /><br />

<li><a href="">a link inside an li tag</a></li>
<li><a href="">and another</a></li>

<br /><br /> 
<a href="">and finally another link at the bottom</a>

It correctly removes the bottom and top links, but it also removes the two
links found within LI tags, which from the way I read the API it should not.

Untested:
$("a").filter(function() { return !$(this).parents().is("ul "); }) 

Requires 1.1
