jQuery - get form elements by container id
17,944
Solution 1
Use the :input
pseudo selector if you don't want to specify them all:
$('#wrapper :input');
:input
selects all input, textarea, select and button elements. And there's no need to use .children()
here.
Solution 2
If there are nothing but form elements in it
$('#wrapper').children();
If there are going to be other things as well
$('#wrapper').children( 'input, select, textarea' );

Which is the easiest way to get all form elements which are contained by a wrapper element.
<form name="myForm"> <input name="elementA" /> <div id="wrapper"> <input name="elementB" /> <textarea name="elementC" /> </div> </form>
In the above HTML I would elementB and elementC but not elementA. I do not want to list all form element types (select,textarea,input,option...). I would prefer to use myForm.elements.
Any ideas?
