How to recognize element is same which is clicked in each() function?

Question

I want to do something like this :

<div class="show" >Element 1</div>
<div class="show" >Element 2</div>
<div class="show" >Element 3</div>

$("div.show").click(function () { 
        $current_show = $(this);
        $("div.show").each(function () {
            if ($(this) != $current_show ) //here i want to check current element is not same
            {
              $(this).text('Write something');
            }
        });
    })

Or is there another way to do this?

Answer 1

No need for each(), you can use not() to avoid clicked element

$("div.show").click(function() {
  $("div.show").not(this).text('Write something');
})

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="show">Element 1</div>
<div class="show">Element 2</div>
<div class="show">Element 3</div>

Answer 2

If you are performing action other that setting same text then Modify .each() to filter current element:

$("div.show").not(this).each(....)

Otherwise you do not need to iterate over element for setting same text. Use solution provided by pranav.
