How to ignore multiple classes using the :not selector?

Question

I have this selector below where it ignores any li with the class show-all-boxes

$(\'.boxes li:not([class=\"show-all-boxes\"])         


        

Answer 1

The :not selector can take multiple CSS selectors as arguments ( http://api.jquery.com/not-selector ). E.g.

$('div:not(.a,.b)').empty()
