Using not() in jQuery to exclude a member of a class

This is just a quick tip I thought I throw out there. We have an application that applies a fade to a .alert class on all its pages. We have 2 pages that need to not fade one particular alert. Here is one way it can be handled.

1. Add a class of .notfade to the alert that needs to stay put and not fade out:
   <div class="alert alert-info nofade"></div>
2. Place the following in $().ready(): $(".alert").not(".notfade")fadeOut(7000);
