button selector
Description: Selects all button elements and elements of type button.
version added: 1.0jQuery( ":button" )
An equivalent selector to $( ":button" )
using valid CSS is $( "button, input[type='button']" )
.
Additional Notes:
- Because
:button
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using:button
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOMquerySelectorAll()
method. To achieve the best performance when using:button
to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use.filter(":button")
.
Example:
Find all button inputs and mark them.
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>button demo</title> <style> textarea { height: 35px; } div { color: red; } fieldset { margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; } .marked { background-color: yellow; border: 3px red solid; } </style> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script> </head> <body> <form> <fieldset> <input type="button" value="Input Button"> <input type="checkbox"> <input type="file"> <input type="hidden"> <input type="image"> <input type="password"> <input type="radio"> <input type="reset"> <input type="submit"> <input type="text"> <select> <option>Option</option> </select> <textarea></textarea> <button>Button</button> </fieldset> </form> <div></div> <script> var input = $( ":button" ).addClass( "marked" ); $( "div" ).text( "For this type jQuery found " + input.length + "." ); // Prevent the form from submitting $( "form" ).submit(function( event ) { event.preventDefault(); }); </script> </body> </html>
