The contains() method returns true if the element has the provided class and false otherwise.
jQuery hasClass() Method The hasClass() method checks if any of the selected elements have a specified class name. If ANY of the selected elements has the specified class name, this method will return "true".
jQuery not() Method: This method returns elements that do not match a defined condition. This method specifies a condition. Elements that do not match the condition are returned, and those that match will be removed. Mostly this method is used to remove one or more than one elements from a group of selected elements.
jQuery :not() Selector The :not() selector selects all elements except the specified element. This is mostly used together with another selector to select everything except the specified element in a group (like in the example above).
Use the "not" selector.
For example, instead of:
$(".thumbs").hover()
try:
$(".thumbs:not(.selected)").hover()
jQuery has the hasClass() function that returns true if any element in the wrapped set contains the specified class
if (!$(this).hasClass("selected")) {
//do stuff
}
Take a look at my example of use
Here is the code for it

Another one with a thumbs class

<input type="button" id="myButton" value="add 'selected' class to red div" />

EDIT:
this is just a guess, but are you trying to achieve something like this?
jQuery Code is here-
$(function() {
$('.thumbs').bind('click',function(e) { $(e.target).toggleClass('selected'); } );
$('.thumbs').hover(fadeItIn, fadeItOut);
$('.thumbs').css('opacity', 0.3);
});
function fadeItIn(e) {
if (!$(e.target).hasClass('selected'))
{
$(e.target).fadeTo('normal', 1.0);
}
}
function fadeItOut(e) {
if (!$(e.target).hasClass('selected'))
{
$(e.target).fadeTo('slow', 0.3);
}
}
<div id="div1" class="thumbs" style=" background-color: #0f0; margin: 10px; padding: 10px; width: 100px; height: 50px; clear: both; cursor:pointer;">
One div with a thumbs class
</div>
<div id="div2" class="thumbs" style=" background-color: #f00; margin: 10px; padding: 10px; width: 100px; height: 50px; clear: both; cursor:pointer;">
Another one with a thumbs class
</div>
I think the author was looking for:
$(this).not('.selected')
When you are checking if an element has or does not have a class, make sure you didn't accidentally put a dot in the class name:
<div class="className"></div>
$('div').hasClass('className');
$('div').hasClass('.className'); #will not work!!!!
After a long time of staring at my code I realized I had done this. A little typo like this took me an hour to figure out what I had done wrong. Check your code!
$(".thumbs").hover(
function(){
if (!$(this).hasClass("selected")) {
$(this).stop().fadeTo("normal", 1.0);
}
},
function(){
if (!$(this).hasClass("selected")) {
$(this).stop().fadeTo("slow", 0.3);
}
}
);
Putting an if inside of each part of the hover will allow you to change the select class dynamically and the hover will still work.
$(".thumbs").click(function() {
$(".thumbs").each(function () {
if ($(this).hasClass("selected")) {
$(this).removeClass("selected");
$(this).hover();
}
});
$(this).addClass("selected");
});
As an example I've also attached a click handler to switch the selected class to the clicked item. Then I fire the hover event on the previous item to make it fade out.
