JQuery combine attribute selectors

Question

I have a Javascript that I am working on and I would like to combine two selectors so that they refer to this tag only:

<input name="checkable" type="checkbox">

So that only checkable with type checkbox will react to it while a text-field with a name of checkable will not. I have tried:

$("input[name='checkable' type='checkbox']")

with no success. Any ideas on how I can do this?

BTW: Do you have multiple input elements with the same control name but of different type? — jensgram

Yes they have the same name one is a checkbox one is a text field — Travis Pessetto
