How do I combine logical OR with logical AND within a jQuery attribute selector?

Question

Given the following XML:

    Max
    Jen
    &l         


        

Answer 1

You can combine multiple selectors, but your syntax isn't exactly correct:

$(xml).find("user[state='CA'],[state='NV']")

This finds all elements with the state "CA" and any other nodes (not necessarily ) with state "NV". What you want is:

$(xml).find("user[state=CA][sex=m],user[state=NV][sex=m]")

If you don't want to repeat yourself:

$(xml).find("user").filter("[state='CA'],[state='NV']").filter("[sex='m']");
