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();

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();
Or take the .not() method
https://api.jquery.com/not/
$(".thisClass").not("#thisId").doAction();
I'll just throw in a JS (ES6) answer, in case someone is looking for it:
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".myClass:not(#myId)")).forEach((el,i) => {
doSomething(el);
}
Update (this may have been possible when I posted the original answer, but adding this now anyway):
document.querySelectorAll(".myClass:not(#myId)").forEach((el,i) => {
doSomething(el);
});
This gets rid of the Array.from
usage.
document.querySelectorAll
returns a NodeList
.

$(".thisClass[id!='thisId']").doAction();
Documentation on selectors: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
You could use the .not function like the following examples to remove items that have an exact id, id containing a specific word, id starting with a word, etc... see http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ref_selectors.asp for more information on jQuery selectors.
Ignore by Exact ID:
$(".thisClass").not('[id="thisId"]').doAction();
Ignore ID's that contains the word "Id"
$(".thisClass").not('[id*="Id"]').doAction();
Ignore ID's that start with "my"
$(".thisClass").not('[id^="my"]').doAction();
Using the .not()
method with selecting an entire element is also an option.
This way could be usefull if you want to do another action with that element directly.
$(".thisClass").not($("#thisId")[0].doAnotherAction()).doAction();
