disable all form elements inside div

Question

is there a way to disable all fields (textarea/textfield/option/input/checkbox/submit etc) in a form by telling only the parent div name in jquery/javascript?

Answer 1

Following will disable all the input but will not able it to btn class and also added class to overwrite disable css.

$('#EditForm :input').not('.btn').attr("disabled", true).addClass('disabledClass');

css class

.disabledClass{
  background-color: rgb(235, 235, 228) !important;
}
