How to check if a TR contains a TD with a specific CSS class with jquery?

Question

I know you can use `.find` to find `td:contains('text')`, but if I have a tr with say, 3 td's, and one of the td's might have `class="specialclass someotherclass"` (may potentially have other classes in addition to special class), how do I use jquery to check if a TR contains a TD of `specialclass`?

Accepted Answer

To select any `tr` that has a `td.specialclass`:

```
$('tr:has(td.specialclass)')
```

Or if you have a `tr` (represented by `this`) and you simply want to check if it has such a `td`:

```
if ($(this).find('td.specialclass').length)
```
