Question

I have a form and I want to disable all the Elements that do not match a given ID using jquery

here is the basic logic I’m trying to achieve

for (AllElementsInthisForm){

    if(formElementID != specificid)
    {
       disable
    }
}

I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?

Answer 1

There is a :not selector.

$('#FORMID input:not(#IDNAME)').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

Or an alternative sytax which is suitable for more complex conditions:

$('#FORMID input:not([id=IDNAME])').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
