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

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>
