How do I use jQuery to select all children except a select element

Question

I have a div (let\'s say the id is \"container\") with many elements in it, including a select element. I\'d like to select all everything in the div except the select. Thin

Answer 1

You can also try it using traversing methods:

$('#container').children().not('#selectorId');

or being a final option:

$('#container').children().filter(function(){
    return $(this).attr('id') !== 'selectorId';
}
