I looked at the JQuery API http://jquery.com/api/
and it says Selects all paragraphs and removes those without a class "selected". $("p").filter(".selected") HTML: <p class="selected">Hello</p><p>How are you?</p> Result: [ <p class="selected">Hello</p> ] I am sorry, it may be a wrong interpretation by me but this to me makes absolutely opposite sense then you just posted above. May be my basic funda about this is wrong. I will look at it today evening. I will post a more elaborate code soon. Gota catch train to go home...its Friday and I am give all the time to jQuery,,,Yahoooo. Does that sound crazy? Well I am crazy about jQuery and love being with it.....:) Thanks On Apr 20, 3:13 pm, "Sean Catchpole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can you post some sample html that you're working with?
