Jquery “if this and if that” then do this

Question

This should be so simple, but it\'s not working for me. I want to say:

If this doesn\'t have the class \"current\" AND if the body class does not equal \"home\", then do

Answer 1

If body is not a variable, access it as a HTML tag: add quotes. Also, AND is && instead of || (that means OR):

if (!$(this).hassClass("current") && !$("body").hasClass("home")) {
    $(this).find(".nav-overlay").show();
}

If body is a jQuery object you can do directly ... && !$body.hashClass(...).

Answer 2

Try $("body") and &&:

   if ( (!$(this).hasClass("current")) && (!$("body").hasClass("home"))  ){
    //...

Or this way , it is shorter:

   if ( !$(this).is(".current") && !$("body").is(".home")  ){
     //...
