"if you have inputs that are not within forms"
That should never happen if you're using valid markup ;)
Although the OP gave no indication there'd be other forms on the page,
if you want to target a specific form just use the context:
$(':text,:checkbox,:radio',$('SPECIFIC_FORM')).addClass
('YOUR_CLASSNAME');
Although it's not clear from the OP's text that he wants the classes
added for styling, that's a reasonable assumption. You're assigning a
class whose name is set using the value of "i" ("myflied_"+i), so
given that the OP said there could be "anywhere from 5 to 10 to 20 to
50 fields", it would be extremely difficult to use those classes for
styling purposes.
Even if the class is to be used only for targeting the form elements
later with script, you'd have to use a ^= filter on the class name
since you could have classnames ranging from "myfield_0" to
"myfield_50". In short, there's not much to gain by adding the number
to the end of the class.
