Per my SO question here, which has turned to jquery to solve this, but which may be worked back into YUI if I get my thinking straight, I need a selector to exclude descendents.
The solution proposed says something like this:
$( '.revealer:not(.revealer > .revealer)' );
To fit more accurately with my situation, because I have multiple
HTML chunks to perform the same test on, I have updated it be:
$( '#_revealerEl_0 .handle:not(#_revealerEl_0 .reveal .handle)' );
The
HTML its selecting on (image there are numerous copies of this same chunk on a page, each needing to be treated alone - an id attribute is assigned to each 'revealer'):
<div class="revealer">
<div class="hotspot">
<a class="handle" href="javascript:;">A</a>
<div class="reveal">
<p>Content A.</p>
</div>
<div class="reveal">
<p>Content B.</p>
<!-- nested revealer -->
<div class="revealer">
<div class="hotspot">
<a class="handle" href="javascript:;">A</a>
<div class="reveal">
<p>Sub-content A.</p>
</div>
<div class="reveal">
<p>Sub-content B.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
In a nutshell: I need to target 'top level' handles within a 'hotspot', per revealer - and no nested descendents with the same class names.
thanks,
