If element does not have parent with specific class
javascript, jquery, parent
Solution
Use `length` to check it there are elements in the selector, and `closest()` would be better than `parents()` as it stops once it finds a match:
if(! $(".myElem").closest(".myDiv").length ) {
console.log("has no parent with the class .myDiv")
}
Problem
I am trying to create an if statement in jQuery for elements that have a parent with a specific class. This is what I've come up with so far but it's not right. ``` if(!$(".myElem").parents(".myDiv")) { console.log("test") }; ``` Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
