Exclude a class from function

Question

Basically I'm making a filter for my portfolio so that you can click on "Web Design," for example, and it will fadeOut the divs that aren't marked as such. The problem is I have some title divs houses within "#content" that I don't want to touch.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#filternav a').click(function() {
        $('#filternav .current').removeClass('current');
        $(this).parent().addClass('current');

        var filterVal = $(this).text().toLowerCase().replace(' ','-');

        if(filterVal == 'view-all') {
            $('#content div.hidden').fadeIn('slow').removeClass('hidden');
        } else {

            $('#content div').each(function() {
                if(!$(this).hasClass(filterVal)) {

                    $(this).fadeOut('normal').addClass('hidden');

                } else {
                    $(this).fadeIn('slow').removeClass('hidden');
                }
            });
        }

        return false;
    });
});

I want to add something do that line #content div . each(function) that will exclude things with the class "title." I think it should be as simple as an if statement, but I must be doing something wrong, and I'm very new to jQuery so I'm not sure what this syntax should be. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try using .not like below,

$('#content div').not('.title').each(function() {

Answer 2

You can exclude it immediately with the :not selector:

$('#content div:not(.title)')
