How do I use jQuery to select all children except a select element

Image
By User


I have a div (let's say the id is "container") with many elements in it, including a select element. I'd like to select all everything in the div except the select. Things I've tried: 





$("#container *:not(select)")

$("#container *:not(#selectorid)")



//put a div around the select and...

$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer)")

$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer *)")

$("#container *:not(#selectorcontainer, #selectorcontainer *)")


Also tried without wildcard descendant selector, so just like all the above, but 





$("#container:not(#selectorid)")

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

By User
Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
