Is there something like except in jQuery?

Question

How is this possible? Following construction does not work:

$('.multibutton').click(function(event) {

    //.. some stuff before

    $(this).next('.menu').slideDown( "slow");

    // hide all other menus except this.next.menu
    $('.menu :not(this.next)').hide();

    //.. some stuff after
});

thank you

The method is... drumroll please... [`.not()`](http://api.jquery.com/not/) — JJJ, Oct 01 '13 at 11:45
Can you explain what you are attempting to do? Psuedo code isn't very helpful. — Rory McCrossan, Oct 01 '13 at 11:45
@RoryMcCrossan the menu is next to .multibutton, not in its scope, therefore I need a :not-Filter for the menu, which is next.to (this clicked) — Gabriel, Oct 01 '13 at 11:48
@user2819288 Are you saying that `.not()` won't do what you want? Please read the documentation before you comment... — JJJ, Oct 01 '13 at 11:56
@adeneo thank you but (I do not know why), it is not working too.. — Gabriel, Oct 01 '13 at 11:56
@Juhana maybe my title has been chosen to be somewhat unhappy, but if you see the code, it is better understandable, but thank you for your feedback.. — Gabriel, Oct 01 '13 at 11:58

    //.. some stuff before

    var elem = $(this).next('.menu').slideDown( "slow");

    // hide all other menus except this.next.menu
    $('.menu').not(elem).hide();

@user2819288 - what the heck is that suppose to be? In the global context `this` is the `window`, and it has no next `menu` ? – adeneo Oct 01 '13 at 12:19
@adeno: yes!! thank you very much, how did you do it? – Gabriel Oct 01 '13 at 12:24

Try using the jQuery.not() function to get a list of the elements not including the items specified :

$('.multibutton').click(function(event) {

    //.. some stuff before

    $(this).next('.menu').slideDown( "slow");

    // hide all other menus except this.next.menu
    $('.menu').not($(this).next()).hide();

    //.. some stuff after
});
