not selector
Description: Selects all elements that do not match the given selector.
jQuery(':not(selector)')
version added: 1.0
A selector with which to filter by.
Examples
Finds all inputs that are not checked and highlights the next sibling span. Notice there is no change when clicking the checkboxes since no click events have been linked.All selectors are accepted inside :not(), for example: :not(div a) and :not(div,a).
Additional Notes
The .not() method is typically faster and may end up providing you with more readable selections than pushing complex selectors or variables into a :not() selector filter.
