jquery find element by specific class when element has multiple classes

Question

So I am working on something that wasn t well thought out in the build from the backend team  That leaves me with a document full of divs    What I am doing is rolling back from the element I need to click on  get the parent container then find an element within the parent which has class  alert-box warn   class  alert-box dead   etc    Essentially  I m trying to use multiple class selectors on each element  When I try to find just alert-box it doesn t seem to be working right  I m assuming because it has warn dead    fine  etc      How can I find just alert-box  or equivalent to a wildcard concept

An element can have any number of classNames  however  it can only have one class attribute  only the first one will be read by jQuery   Using the code you posted      alert-box warn   will work but     alert-box dead   will not

You can combine selectors like this      alert-box warn   alert-box dead      Or if you want a wildcard use the attribute-contains selector      class   alert-box        Note  Preferably you would know the element type or tag when using the selectors above  Knowing the tag can make the selector more efficient      div alert-box warn  div alert-box dead       div class   alert-box
