jQuery: select all elements of a given class, except for a particular Id

Question

This is probably pretty simple.

I want to select all elements of a given class thisClass, except where the id is thisId.

i.e. something equivalent to (where -/minus implies remove):

$(".thisClass"-"#thisId").doAction();

Answer 1

Use the :not selector.

$(".thisclass:not(#thisid)").doAction();

If you have multiple ids or selectors just use the comma delimiter, in addition:

(".thisclass:not(#thisid,#thatid)").doAction();
