jQuery - Multiple Selectors in a :not()?

I cant seem to get the following working:

$('input:not([type=radio][type=checkbox])').live('click', function() {
    alert("You haven't clicked a radio or checkbox!");
});

Have tried a few different syntax's, can anyone help me out on this one.

Cheers

You're confusing the multiple selector with the multiple attribute selector. You should write:

$("input:not([type=radio], [type=checkbox])");

The multiple attribute selector [type=radio][type=checkbox] matches the elements whose type attributes are equal to both radio and checkbox, which cannot happen in this universe.

The syntax inside the not() is identical to the normal selector syntax, so if you want to match things that are not either of those things, you use a selector in the not that would match both (since essentially you're negating the selector). How do you do that? The same way you apply styles to multiple selectors at once in CSS, with a comma, as so:

$('input:not([type=radio],[type=checkbox])')

That should select all inputs the not [type=radio] and not [type=checkbox]

You can also exclude items like this:

$('input').not('[type=radio], [type=checkbox]').live('click', function() {
    alert("You haven't clicked a radio or checkbox!");
});
