The following code stringref = tab_2; jQuery(‘.someclass a:not(.someclass #a_someclass_’+stringref+’)’).css(‘color’, ‘#000’); gives me this warning

The following code

stringref = "tab_2";
jQuery('.someclass a:not(.someclass #a_someclass_'+stringref+')').css('color', '#000');

gives me this warning in the FF 3.5.5 error console and I can’t figure out why:

Warning: Missing closing ')' in negation pseudo-class '#a_someclass_tab_2'.

Is my syntax failing me or has FF gone bonkers ?

    I think your selector is too complex — I don’t think spaces are allowed within a :not() pseudoclass. Are you trying to match a descendants of .someclass that do not have the given ID? If so, just remove the .someclass within the :not().
