How can I exclude this from a jQuery selector

Question

I have something like this    lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt A lt  a gt   lt  div gt   lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt B lt  a gt   lt  div gt   lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt C lt  a gt   lt  div gt    When one of these links is clicked  I want to perform the  hide   function on the links that are not clicked  I understand jQuery has the  not selector  but I can t figure out how to use it in this case because it is necessary that I select the links using     content a    I want to do something like      content a   click function             content a not this    hide  slow          but I can t figure out how to use the  not selector properly in this case

You should use the  siblings    method  and prevent from running the   content a  selector over and over again just for applying that effect   HTML   lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt A lt  a gt   lt  div gt   lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt B lt  a gt   lt  div gt   lt div class  content  gt       lt a href     gt C lt  a gt   lt  div gt    CSS   content       background-color red      margin 10px     content other       background-color yellow      Javascript      content a   click function       var current     this  parent      current removeClass  other        siblings        addClass  other          See here  http   jsfiddle net 3bzLV 1
