jQuery selector question (how to select all input fields on a form EXCEPT buttons and checkbox)

Question

I am trying to select all input fields on a form (except buttons and checkboxes).

I have got as far as to select all the form input elements on a form with id \"myfo

Answer 1

$("#myform :input:not(:checkbox):not(:button)");

Answer 2

You can use :not() combined to :checkbox and :button selectors:

$("#myform :input:not(:button):not(:checkbox)");

and test it with success with the example provided in the documentation of :input

EDIT: :input also selects textarea, select, button and input[type="hidden"] according to documentation (and a useful example)
