Selecting a tag and class (jQuery)

Question

Say I the following:

<div id = "thisOne">
<a href = "#" class="ui-state-highlight">abc</a>
<a href = "#'>def</a>
</div>

If i do $(".thisOne a") I get both "a" elements. I just want the one that is highlighted, how do I do this?

Answer 1

This two lines of code should help you, give them a try :

$("#thisOne .highlight")

and for the other

$("#thisOne :not(.highlight)")

Answer 2

This should do it: $('a.highlight');
