The filter(function) works fine for me (jQuery v1.1.4) - return TRUE and the
filter is applied (ie. the element is kept); return FALSE and the element is
removed - so taking the documented example it would return "How are you?".
The same effect (using the documented example again) can be achieved by
using $('p').not(':has(ol)');
If you could post your HTML and script it would help. And what version of
jQuery you are using.
