I am using a jquery selector
$('input,select,textarea').not('table input').attr('disabled',true);
here I am disabling all input, select, and textarea control. but I dont need to disable any control that is in a table. I have done it using .not('table input') but I also need to mention select along with input control in a table.
I have select conrol in table, whcih i dont want to disable. what would be the selector for this.
$('input,select,textarea').not('table input').not('table select').attr('disabled',true);
$('input,select,textarea').not('table input,table select').attr('disabled',true);
You could either use something like:
$('input,select,textarea').not('table input').not('table select').attr('disabled',true);
Or shorter:
$('input,select,textarea').not('table input,table select').attr('disabled',true);
But you could also add a class to all your inputs that are to be disabled and simply use:
$('.toBeDisabled').attr('disabled',true);
Or some not to be disabled:
$('input,select,textarea').not('.notToBeDisabled').attr('disabled',true);
Or if you want to include all form elements (also buttons), then use:
$(':input').not('table :input').attr('disabled',true);
