how to use jquery to filter out children with class x

Question

I have two scenarios I am trying to capture.

1) I want to use jquery to filter out all elements inside the jquery object who has a child with classname = myclass

2) I want to use jquery to filter out all elements inside the jquery object who's child element's innerhtml == ""

I was trying something like this

var Rows = allRows.filter(children(".myclass"));

and this wasn't working (and tried out a few other things as well, just dont have the code anymore.

When you say 'filter out' do you mean exclude from the results or only include those that match? — Richard Dalton, Sep 13 '13 at 14:33
If you mean 'eliminate', try :not() - otherwise try .children() — shubniggurath, Sep 13 '13 at 14:38

Use the has method:

var Rows = allRows.has('.myclass');
