If we want to do some action on selected list of elements except one element in the list we can use jQuery as shown below.
$(".parentElement:not(#childId)").actionName();
If you want to skip multiple elements
$(".parentElement:not(#childId1,#childId2)").actionName();
Or you can use not()
$(".parentElement").not("#childId1").actionName();
