Nokogiri 'not' selector

Question

Is there a way in Nokogiri to select all elements that do not match the selector. In jQuery, I would use:

:not(*[@class='someclass']) 

However, the following code gives me xpath syntax error

 dom = Nokogiri::HTML(@file) dom.css(":not(*[@class='someclass'])") 

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the syntax you are using, but this is basically the xpath selector you want:

 dom.xpath("//wherever/*[not (@class='someclass')]") 

Answer 2

In CSS3: not () accepts a selector like any other , so this will be:

 dom.css(":not(.someclass)") 

(untested, but the selector is right)

Answer 3

In addition to the subtle answer, if you want to use two classes, he would like to do this:

 .local:not(.hide)
