Question

Basically I have a form and when it’s submited I add a class to blank fields to highlight them to be filled.

However when the user starts to fill an input or changes a “select” I want to remove this class.

This is what I’m trying, my problem is that I don’t know how to select just the element that has been modified. How can I do this?

$("input, select").change(function(){
    $('input').removeClass('highlight'); // Only affect modified element
    });

Answer 1

You could use $(this) I guess:

$("input, select").change(function(){
  $(this).removeClass('highlight'); // Only affect modified element
});
