What are advanced selectors in jQuery?

Quick Answer jQuery advanced selectors: $("li:nth-child(2)") nth element; $("input:not([type=submit])") exclusion; $("p:contains('text')") contains text; $("[href^=https]") attribute starts with; $("[href$=.pdf]") ends with; $("tr:odd") odd rows. Many are jQuery-specific (not CSS) and slower than native selectors - use with care in performance-sensitive code.

Answer

Advanced selectors include:

• Attribute selectors: [name=""value""], [name^=""start""], [name$=""end""], [name*=""contains""]
• Hierarchy selectors: parent > child, ancestor descendant, prev + next
• Form selectors: :input, :text, :checkbox, :selected
• Content selectors: :contains('text'), :empty

They allow complex filtering with very concise syntax.
