To add some info that helped me today  a jQuery object this can also be passed in to the  not   selector    x000D   x000D    document  ready function    x000D          navitem   click function    x000D              navitem   removeClass  active    x000D              navitem   not   this   addClass  active    x000D          x000D      x000D   navitem x000D    x000D      width  100px  x000D      background  red  x000D      color  white  x000D      display  inline-block  x000D      position  relative  x000D      text-align  center  x000D    x000D   navitem active x000D    x000D      background green  x000D    x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   lt div class  navitem  gt Home lt  div gt  x000D   lt div class  navitem  gt About lt  div gt  x000D   lt div class  navitem  gt Pricing lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The above example can be simplified  but wanted to show the usage of this in the not   selector

You can use the  not   method       content box a   not   button     Alternatively  you can also use the  not   selector       content box a not   button       There is little difference between the two approaches  except  not   is more readable  especially when chained  and  not   is very marginally faster  See this Stack Overflow answer for more info on the differences
