jQuery - select subset of elements within a saved set of elements

Question

From this:

var $saved = $(\'#parent\').find(\'a\');

How can I now subselect those elements in $saved which have class my

Answer 1

You can iterate through saved collection to find out the elements with class myClass.

var $refined  = $saved.each(function(){
   if($(this).attr('class') == 'myClass')
      return $(this);
});

Or you can use filter() jquery function to apply selector.

 var $refined  = $saved.filter('myClass');
