Question

trying to do something pretty obvious really but its kinda not making any sense / not working for me …

The idea is simple, when the document is loaded $(document).ready() get all input elements that have attribute type=”text” on them and add the css class “textbox” …

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var textboxes = $(":input [type = 'text']");
        textboxes.each().addClass("textbox");
    });
</script>

Any ideas why this doesn’t work ?? …

EDIT:

Wow .. still have a lot to learn about jquery-isms … starting to love jquery though 🙂 it’s simplicity really does the trick.

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("input[type='text']").addClass("textbox");
});

No need for the colon before the element input.

$("input[type='text']") will reference all elements so no need for an each()
