Jquery Exclude a Selector?

how can I exclude my i

Answer 1

Use .not() to exclude your input button (or buttons) from the set of inputs you already have.

$('input.are.blong.to.us') // give me a bunch of inputs
    .not('#submit')        // exclude input#submit
    .focus( ... )          
    .blur( ... );
