A combination of AND and OR in jQuery selectors

Question

I have a jQuery selector with following syntax:

$(\'input[type=image]\').not(\'.xyzClass\').click(function{
    //some functionality
});

So

Answer 1

$(":image:not(.xyzClass),:image[onclick*='someSpecificFunctionality']");

Answer 2

Updated answer

$('*:not(.xyzClass)[id*=containsThisValue]')

For your updated question, though this isn't optimized I would recommend specifying as much as you can.

Original answer:

function someSpecificFunctionality() {
}

$(els)

.click(someSpecificFunctionality)
.data('someSpecificFunctionality', true)


$(els).filter(function() {

    return 
        $(this).not('.xyzClass') && 
        $(this).data('someSpecificFunctionality') == true

});

Answer 3

to do an "OR" use a comma:

$('input[type=image]')
    .not(".xyzClass,[onclick*='someSpecificFunctionality()']")
    .click(...);

I'm not sure how you're defining the onclick though: is it in your HTML or is added programmatically?
