$("input:not(:submit):not(:reset):not(:button):not(:image):not(:hidden),select,textarea")
grabs all <input>'s that are NOT of type "submit", "reset", "button",
"image" or "hidden", all <select>'s and all <textarea>'s.
You could also do
$("input:text,input:checkbox,input:password,input:radio,input:file,select,textarea")
but you'd be selecting the same group on <input>'s five times instead once
like in the first example.
Both of those are pretty verbose, which is very unjQuery-like. But, one of
the really cool things about jQuery selectors is that you can add your own
custom selectors really easily, like so:
jQuery.expr[":"].userInput = "/text|password|radio|checkbox|file/i.test(
a.type) || /select|textarea/i.test(a.nodeName)";
Selectors are nothing more than a piece of JavaScript code that gets eval'd
by the selection engine. The variable "a" is the DOM node that jQuery is
currently examining.
Here's a list of all of the official selectors:

And some more custom selectors (though some of these have been merged into
the jQuery core)

Hi, all...
How can this code be modified to accept others types
of input besides "text"? I need to be able to include input
from selects, radio, and checkboxes...

Thanks,
