jquery - run function on each element except the one that was clicked

Question

As some example code, I might have something like this:

$(\'a.parent\').click(function(){

        $(\'a.parent\').each(function(){
            $(this).stop(         


        

Answer 1

you can use :not(this) so change :

 $('a.parent').each(function(){
            $(this).stop(true,false).animate({
                width: '140px'
            },200,function(){
            });
        });

to :

$('a.parent:not('+this+')').each(function(){
            $(this).stop(true,false).animate({
                width: '140px'
            },200,function(){
            });
        });

or use .not(this) after $('a.parent') , so :

$('a.parent').not(this).each(function(){
                $(this).stop(true,false).animate({
                    width: '140px'
                },200,function(){
                });
            });
