I have a long list of <li>
items I need to filter. I want the visible ones. Here’s an example hidden one:
<li style="display:none;" <a href="https://www.example.com/dogs/cats/"> <img class="is-loading" width="184" height="245" </a><span>dogscats</span> </li>
Those which are not hidden don’t have a display visible attribute, they just don’t have a style attribute at all.
This gives me the opposite of what I want:
document.querySelectorAll('.newSearchResultsList li[style="display:none;"]')
How can I select based on style attribute does not equal or contain “display:none;”?

This whole thing is kind-of hacky, but you could use the :not()
selector to invert your selection. Beware some browser normalize the style attribute, so you will want to include a selector for the space that may be normalized in.
var elements = document.querySelectorAll( '.newSearchResultsList li:not([style*="display:none"]):not([style*="display: none"])' ); console.log(elements);
<ul class="newSearchResultsList"> <li style="display:none;">hidden 1</li> <li style="display:block;">visible 1</li> <li style="display:none;">hidden 2</li> <li style="display:block;">visible 2</li> </ul>
If you want you could also select both these elements and any child elements.
const selector = '.newSearchResultsList li:not([style*="display:none"]):not([style*="display: none"])'; const elements = document.querySelectorAll(`${selector}, ${selector} *`); console.log(elements);
<ul class="newSearchResultsList"> <li style="display:none;">hidden <i>1</i></li> <li style="display:block;">visible <b>1</b></li> <li style="display:none;">hidden <i>2</i></li> <li style="display:block;">visible <b>2</b></li> </ul>
Of course, these only work when selecting elements with inline styles.
