"ALL but NOT" jQuery selector

Requirement:
We can select (using jQuery) all the divs in a HTML markup as follows:

$('div')

But If we want to exclude a particular div (say having id="myid") from the above selection. Then too it's simple, here is the solution.

Solution:
Use .not selector from jQuery as following.

$('div').not('#myid');

Using .not() will remove elements matched by the selector given to it from the set returned by $('div').

You can also use the :not() selector:

$('div:not(#myid)');

Both selectors do the same task; however, :not() is quicker, likely because jQuery's Sizzle selector engine can optimise it to perform as a native. calling .querySelectorAll().

Thanks!
