jQuery get all divs which do not have class attribute

by

Try it with the :not() pseudo-class selector:

$('div:not([class])')

Edit

The description for the jQuery selectors say:

  • [attribute]
    Matches elements that have the specified attribute.
  • [attribute=value]
    Matches elements that have the specified attribute with a certain value.
  • [attribute!=value]
    Matches elements that either don’t have the specified attribute or do have the specified attribute but not with a certain value.

This means div[class=""] would select all DIV elements that have a class attribute specified with an empty value.

But the last selector is a proprietary selector of jQuery and not a CSS selector. You would need to use :not() to select all DIV elements that do not have a class:

div:not([class])
