Quick jQuery question: What's the way to get all elements of a queried set EXCEPT the first?

Question

I forget offhand.

Answer 1

I believe you are refering to the NOT selector .

Answer 2

$("div.someClass:not(div.someClass:first)")

Assuming of course you are looking for div.someClass. This might be a bit verbose, but I think it works. Haven't tested.

Answer 3

You can do:

$(selector).not(':first');

Or:

$('selector:not(:first)');

Answer 4

Another option is the gt selector (greater than):

$('selector:gt(0)');

or

$('selector').gt(0);

:not(:first) is more readable, but also a bit longer.

Answer 5

You could also use the splice method, e.g.

var nodes = $(selector);
nodes.splice(0, 1);
