Question

I have something like this:

<div class='content'>     <a href='#'>A</a> </div> <div class='content'>     <a href='#'>B</a> </div> <div class='content'>     <a href='#'>C</a> </div> 

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.

Answer 1

Try using the not() method instead of the :not() selector.

$('.content a').click(function() {     $('.content a').not(this).hide('slow'); });
