This is really good to know! I just posted an entry on Learning
jQuery last night about selector expressions, but I had no idea
about :text, :file, or :password. I'll have to update the entry today!
By the way, for others on the list who might not know, :hidden can be
used for any element, not just inputs. There is a :visible selector,
too.

I'm a little shaky on XPath, but if the CSS equivalent of "#div/form"
is "#div > form", you could try something like this:
$('#div > form').find('textarea, :text')
That should get any textarea and text input in a form that is a child
of #div.

Near the bottom of http://jquery.com/docs/Base/Expression/CSS/,
you'll find the following:

Hope that helps.
