Question

I want to disable all checkboxes, all dropdown lists & textboxes (except the buttons) at one shot, those are present in my page.

The below code is not working, Please rectify.

$('checkbox').filter('type=[button]').attr("disabled", "disabled");
$('input').filter('type=[button]').attr("disabled", "disabled");
$('select').filter('type=[button]').attr("disabled", "disabled");

NB: I dont want to disable the buttons present in my page.

Assuming you’re using jQuery v1.6.*, you should be using .prop("disabled", true).

$('input[type="text"], input[type="checkbox"], select').prop("disabled", true);
