How to select all textareas and textboxes using jQuery?
How can I select all textboxes and textareas, e.g:
<input type='text' />
and
<textarea></textarea>
on a page and have the property style.width="90%";
applied to them?
$('input[type=text], textarea').css({width: '90%'});
That uses standard CSS selectors, jQuery also has a set of pseudo-selector filters for various form elements, for example:
$(':text').css({width: '90%'});
will match all <input type="text">
elements. See Selectors documentation for more info.
Password boxes are also textboxes, so if you need them too:
$("input[type='text'], textarea, input[type='password']").css({width: "90%"});
and while file-input is a bit different, you may want to include them too (eg. for visual consistency):
$("input[type='text'], textarea, input[type='password'], input[type='file']").css({width: "90%"});
$("**:**input[type=text], :input[type='textarea']").css({width: '90%'});
names = [];
$('input[name=text], textarea').each(
function(index){
var input = $(this);
names.push( input.attr('name') );
//input.attr('id');
}
);
it select all textboxes and textarea in your DOM, where $.each function iterates to provide name of ecah element.
