Question

Creating a click event for an input is easy

$('input').click(function () {
                alert('adsf');
        });

But how can I be selective so that the previous code only works on type checkbox or of type button, rather than using the generic ‘input’ selector?

Answer 1

You can use some built-in Selectors like :checkbox and :button to find these elements easily.

$('input:checkbox').click(function () {
    alert('checkbox');
});

$('input:button').click(function () {
    alert('button');
});

There’s also :radio, :submit, :text, and :input selectors, among others
