jQuery: select all elements of a given class, except for a particular Id

Question

This is probably pretty simple.

I want to select all elements of a given class "thisClass", except where the id is of a given id "thisId".

i.e. something equivalent to (where -/minus implies remove):

$(".thisClass"-"#thisId").doAction();

Answer 1

Use the :not selector.

$(".thisclass:not(#thisid)").doAction();

Answer 2

$(".thisClass[id!='thisId'").doAction();
