How to exclude read only fields using :input in jquery?
- by melaos
hi guys,
thus far i've only been using some basic jquery selectors and functions.
but i'm looking at this clear form function and i can't figure out how to add it so i can remove hidden inputs and readonly input from getting cleared.
can anybody help?
thanks.
function clearForm(form) {
// iterate over all of the inputs for the form
// element that was passed in
$(':input', form).each(function() {
var type = this.type;
var tag = this.tagName.toLowerCase(); // normalize case
// it's ok to reset the value attr of text inputs,
// password inputs, and textareas
if (type == 'text' || type == 'password' || tag == 'textarea')
this.value = "";
// checkboxes and radios need to have their checked state cleared
// but should *not* have their 'value' changed
else if (type == 'checkbox' || type == 'radio')
this.checked = false;
// select elements need to have their 'selectedIndex' property set to -1
// (this works for both single and multiple select elements)
else if (tag == 'select')
this.selectedIndex = -1;
});
};
