Jquery Selecting Form Items Conditional on ID

I have a form and I want to disable all the Elements that do not match a given ID using jquery

here is the basic logic I'm trying to achieve

for (AllElementsInthisForm){

    if(formElementID != specificid)
    {
       disable
    }
}

I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?

There is a :not selector.

$('#FORMID input:not(#IDNAME)').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

Or an alternative sytax which is suitable for more complex conditions:

$('#FORMID input:not([id=IDNAME])').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

A class would make more sense in your case.

<div class="disableThis" />
<a class="disableThis />

<script>
    $('.disableThis').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
</script>
