target input by type and name (selector)

Question

I need to change some checkbox inputs to hidden inputs for some but not all inputs on a page.

Answer 1

You can combine attribute selectors this way:

$("[attr1=val][attr2=val]")...

so that an element has to satisfy both conditions. Of course you can use this for more than two. Also, don't do [type=checkbox]. jQuery has a selector for that, namely :checkbox so the end result is:

$("input:checkbox[name=ProductCode]")...

Attribute selectors are slow however so the recommended approach is to use ID and class selectors where possible. You could change your markup to:

allowing you to use the much faster selector of:

$("input.ProductCode")...
