:button Selector

Categories: jQuery Extensions | Form

jQuery(':button')

Description: Selects all button elements and elements of type button.

  • jQuery(':button')

    version added: 1.0

Note:

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 DOM querySelectorAll() 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").
  • Finds all button inputs.

    HTML:
    <form>
        <input type="button" value="Input Button"/>
        <input type="checkbox" />

        <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>
