Assign attr to top level uls

I'm pretty new to jquery and I have what is likely a very simple problem.

I'm trying to implement a flyout menu for navigation on a new site, and because of the limitations put on me by my CMS, I'm unable to add classes to the <ul>'s to which the flyout functionality will be applied.

For example:

Change this:

<div class="SideCategoryListClassic">
<ul **class="fancynav"**>
    <li class=""><a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/">Product</a>
        <ul>
            <li class="LastChild">
                 <a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/Accessories/">Accessories</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

<ul **class="fancynav"**>
    <li class=""><a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/">Product</a>
        <ul>
            <li class="LastChild">
                 <a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/Accessories/">Accessories</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

To this:

<div class="SideCategoryListClassic">
<ul>
    <li class=""><a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/">Product</a>
        <ul>
            <li class="LastChild">
                 <a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/Accessories/">Accessories</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

<ul>
    <li class=""><a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/">Product</a>
        <ul>
            <li class="LastChild">
                 <a href="http://blah.com/categories/product/Accessories/">Accessories</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Again, sure it's simple but I'm not sure how to only grab those top level <ul>'s without get开发者_如何学Pythonting the ones nested within them.

$(".SideCategoryListClassic > ul")

This gets only uls that are direct children of .SideCategoryListClassic

I think what you want is something like the following ...

$(".SideCategoryListClassic").children("ul").addClass("myClass");

the children("ul") bit will only get the top level <ul> tags
