Question

I have the following query:

$("input:text").somefunction();

How can I also include a button and Textarea in the above code without using classes?

Answer 1

:text filters the inputs for text-boxes, so simply selecting :input will get what you’re after:

Selects all input, textarea, select and button elements.

note that this is a bit confusing: $('input') selects all <input> elements (buttons too, but not textareas), but $(':input') gets what you want.
, which takes just a single element according to structure of the whole document.
