Question

I’m trying to wrap everything within the body in another div, except one div ID and everything inside it. I tried this:

$('div:not(#dontselect)').wrap('<div class="wrapper" />');

It sorta works, but everything inside #dontselect also get wrapped in .wrapper classes. I want #dontselect and everything inside it to remain how they were. Any help?

Answer 1

You can add another :not:

$('div:not(#dontselect):not(#dontselect div)')

This excludes all div descendants of #dontselect.
