<p class="desc"><strong>Description: </strong>Select all elements that are the parent of another element, including text nodes.</p>
<div class="longdesc">
<p>This is the inverse of <code>:empty</code>. </p>
<p>One important thing to note regarding the use of <code>:parent</code> (and <code>:empty</code>) is that child elements include text nodes.</p>
<p>The W3C recommends that the <code><p></code> element have at least one child node, even if that child is merely text (see <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-P">http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-P</a>). Some other elements, on the other hand, are empty (i.e. have no children) by definition:<code> <input></code>, <code><img></code>, <code><br></code>, and <code><hr></code>, for example.</p>
</div>
<h3 id="notes-0">Additional Notes:</h3>
<div class="longdesc"><ul><li>Because <code>:parent</code> is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using <code>:parent</code> cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM <code>querySelectorAll()</code> method. To achieve the best performance when using <code>:parent</code> to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use <a href="http://api.jquery.com/filter/"><code>.filter(":parent")</code></a>.</li></ul></div>

<div class="entry-examples" id="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Finds all tds with children, including text.</span></h4>
