How to select all elements that are not in an element with a particular id?












1















Is it possible to select for example all divs that are not contained by an element that has id myId?



The not() selector might have the functionality to accomplish this but I do not know how.



So for example:



<div>
<div id="myId">
<input/>
<input/>
<input/>
</div>
<input>I only want to select this one</input>
</div>

  • div > input:not(#myId > input). Or if you can put a class/id on the outer div, just #outerDiv > input will work.

You can use .not() to filter out the inputs you don't want:






$('input').not('#myId input').css({ // if inputs are always direct child, you can use #myId>input
'border-color': 'red'
})

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<div id="myId">
<input type="text">
<input type="text">
<input type="text">
</div>
<input type="text">
</div>

    Your question is slightly confusing because you say you want to select divs but then your example indicates you want to select an input. Assuming it's the input you want,



    $(input:not(#myID > input))


    should do it.
