Try $('div.first:not(.second)') and $('li:not(.jq-first)') (without
tag names in the :not() selector)

I'm having some problems using the "not" selector on my jquery code.
I have elements that have one classname "first" and only one of them
has a second classname "second" (that is used in many other
elements). I want to select the elements that have the "first" but
not the "second".
The selector I have is:
$('div.first:not(div.second)')
An the selector is not working. I'm using it incorrectly or is a bug?
PD: you can test this problem in jquery.com page. There are 2
elements "li" that has the classnames "jq-first". You can select all
"li" elements on the page and there are 52. So, you can select all
"li" elements on the page without the elements with "jq-first"
classname, and the result must be 50 elements. But when I execute:
$('li:not(li.jq-first)')
There are no elements selected.
