Yeah, that's actually where I found my answer Klaus. I'm a bit
embarrassed that I basically posted the question a second time. It
didn't immediately occur to me that I could do the same thing with
"input:type" that I could with ".classA". I'm not a css stud so I guess
I didn't think of the index:type syntax as being a css selector... what
I did think it was, I have no idea. :o'
Well, I appreciate everyone's patience with me.
The upshot of all this is that I managed to condense what would have
taken at least one-hundred lines of code down to only three... well one
really, except that I like to split things out on to separate lines. The
idea was to gather all the form fields and put their values in an object
such that I could pass all the variables in one single structure. Here's
what I ended up with:
var obj = new Object;
// all inputs of type text, hidden, select and textarea
$("input:text,input:hidden,select,textarea").each(function(){
eval("obj." + this.name + " = '" + this.value + "';");
});
Very nice. Simple. Clean. Thank you, thank you, thank you jQuery! ...
and all you guys who help me with my questions no matter how basic. I am
learning, and I use more and more jQuery every day! :o)
Thanks heaps!

Where is this sort of thing documented? I mean, all the API says (unless
I'm missing it somewhere) is that you can do $("input") to get all input
elements. It mentions nothing about being able to string them together
in a comma delimited list like this.
That's grouping of CSS selectors. I explained that in another response
to one of your mails (see subject "A couple of simple questions.") -
seems that you have missed that.
Grouping:

Selectors:

This is the sort of thing that would be nice to know, not to have to dig
too much to find it... just my .02 I guess. :o)
Cheers,

What every happened to this :input selector. It sounded like John put it in
the core, but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. I need to select all
inputs of type text and hidden, as well as all selects and textareas.
Can anyone give me a quick hand with this?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I'd like to have a selector ":input" that selects all input elements of
type
text, checkbox, radio and file and all textareas.
The jQuery.g object looks like it could be extended to provide this
selector, unfortnately I have no idea how to do it.
My approach looks like this:
$.g.[":"].input = "...";
The jQuery.g object is used inside jQuery.filter, which is used by
jQuery.select. Both methods are quite complex and undocumeted, I have no
idea what is going on in there, therefore I could need some help writing
that custom grammar...
