I’m currently facing this problem where :not(this)
is not working but is working when I specify the exact element selector. Please see my code sample below.
$(document).ready(function(){ $('p').on('click', function(){ $('p:not(this, .intro)').css('background', 'yellow'); }); });
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <p class="intro">My name is Donald.</p> <p>I live in Duckburg.</p> <p>My best friend is Mickey.</p>
