change jquery selector to not select particular div id

I have a jquery selector that I would like to change so that it wont select <div id="divA"></div>.

Heres the current selector:

$('ul.toggle a').on('click', function () {
  //does some work
});

I tried $('ul.toggle a [id!=divA]') but that thows errors.
What is the intended format for this selector?

You can use :not to remove elements from the set of matched elements.

$("ul.toggle a:not('#mhs-link')")

How about this- 

$('ul.toggle a').not('#divA')

The .not() function simply removes elements from a previous list of elements. Because of some nifty function chaining, you can just insert that into your current definition - 

$('ul.toggle a').not("#divA").on('click', function () {
  //does some work
});
