jquery - Can I use CSS3 Selectors to select based on a child element?

I need to select a

element that has a nested with a specific class.

The is not always a child of the

and may instead be a grandchild. For example:

some textlink

I need to select the

element if it has an with the class f5 anywhere inside.

Answer

this isn't possible with a css selector (theres nothing like a parent-selector).

maybe you can work around this with javascript - in jquery, for example, you should get your paragraphs with $('p:has(a.f5)') (and then you're free to .addClass() or set .css() on this elements directly).

EDIT::
you might also want to take a look at this other questions on SO (and next time: search before you ask):
