not select first li element using jquery

Question

My jquery selector ,

$($('ul *[data-date="abc"]'))

Retrieves following elements from html,

<li class="current week" data-wk="39" data-date="abc"></li>
<li class="day" data-date="abc"></li>
..
..
..
.
.
<li class="day" data-date="abc"></li>

But I dont want its first element. How to do that ?

What I have tried is ,

$($('ul *[data-date="abc"]:not(.current week)'))

But it is still returning all the results.

current week are 2 different classes, so you need to use

$('ul *[data-date="abc"]:not(.current.week)')

Also there is no need to use 2 sets of $

If you want to exclude first element then try this:

$('ul *[data-date="abc"]:not(:first)')

Or if you want to exclude elements with class current week then try this :

$('ul *[data-date="abc"]:not(.current.week)')

$('ul *[data-date="abc"]').find("li:gt(0)")

You can try using the gt(0) in the find selector. 0 is the first LI element. The above statement will return all the LI's except the first one.
