Question

I have the following code:

$(":input[type='text']").wijtextbox();

What I would like is for the wijtextbox() NOT to be applied if the class of my textbox is native. Is there a way I can somehow exclude this by adding to the above selector?

Make this a wijtextbox:

<textarea class="wijmo-wijtextbox ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all valid" >xx</textarea>

Don’t make this a wijtextbox:

<textarea class="native wijmo-wijtextbox ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all valid" >xx</textarea>

Answer 1

This:

$("input[type='text']").not(".native").wijtextbox();

or this:

$("input[type='text']:not('.native')").wijtextbox();

should do the trick. There’s also a shortcut for selecting an input whose type is text:

$("input:text").not(".native").wijtextbox();

More on not() here.

EDIT: Since it appears you need to select a textarea, try the following:

$("textarea").not(".native").wijtextbox();
