How do I use jQuery to select all children except

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. Things I've tried:

$("#container *:not(select)")
$("#container *:not(#selectorid)")

//put a div around the select and...
$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer)")
$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer *)")
$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer, #selectorcontainer *)")

Also tried without wildcard descendant selector, so just like all the above, but

$("#container:not(#selectorid)")

Answer 1

$(#container select).siblings()
