Question

Can someone tell me why this doesn’t work in IE7 please and how to to best refactor it to work in IE7 as well as the other major browser such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari?

    var validTabSet = $('[tabindex]:not([tabindex=-1]):not([type=hidden]):not([disabled=true])');

Thanks

David

You can factorize the selectors you pass to :not into a multiple selector:

var validTabSet = $("[tabindex]:not([tabindex=-1], [type=hidden], [disabled=true])");

If it still fails on IE7, you can use the not() method instead of a selector:

var validTabSet = $("[tabindex]").not("[tabindex=-1], [type=hidden], [disabled=true]");
