remove class but not selector class in jquery

Question

I want to remove class from div but selector class like: I want to remove only 'check' from below div.

Note: class name are dynamic. Its name can be anything.

<div class="pop check"></div>
$(function(){
$('.pop').not('pop').removeClass()  // not working
})

working code

$(function(){
$('.pop').removeClass().addClass('pop')
})

Is there any better way to do this

You can remove your class by:

$(function() {
    $('.pop').removeClass('check')
});

Seeing [jQuery documentation](http://api.jquery.com/removeClass/) might have been less time costing `:p` – Stphane Oct 18 '13 at 09:36

Isn't the classname "check" dynamic, so it could be anything? – Anton Oct 18 '13 at 09:36

You can use .attr():

$('.pop').attr('class','pop');

+1. This would be better if all classes except the selector class needs to be removed. – Harry Oct 18 '13 at 09:38

Try this:

if($(".pop").attr("class")!="pop"){
   $(".pop").attr("class","").addClass('pop');//to remove all classes and add pop class
}

Just write it as:

$(".pop").removeClass("check");

@h2ooooooo: I edited and was just about to post the same comment :) – Harry Oct 18 '13 at 09:33
I of course mean "prepend" btw! :) It doesn't make much sense to "append" stuff in "front" of something. – h2ooooooo Oct 18 '13 at 09:54
