title: Using an array with jQuery's .not()
body: <p>What I'm trying to learn is how to use an array with .not() in jQuery. My code is below. Do you know why .item-ii is not being excluded from the selection? Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul class="level-1"&gt;
    &lt;li class="item-i"&gt;I&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li class="item-ii"&gt;II
      &lt;ul class="level-2"&gt;
        &lt;li class="item-a"&gt;A&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li class="item-b"&gt;B
          &lt;ul class="level-3"&gt;
            &lt;li class="item-1"&gt;1&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li class="item-2"&gt;2&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li class="item-3"&gt;3&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li class="item-c"&gt;C&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li class="item-iii"&gt;III&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
      var temp = new Array();
      temp[0] = '.item-ii';
      console.log(temp);
      $('li').not(temp).css('background', 'red');
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
