hey guys,

i have a page in which i disable a form:

$('myForm').diable();

Then i need to enable only form elements who id begins with 'act':

$('myForm').select('*[id^="act"]').invoke('enable');

the problem is that the select also returns elements such as links
('a') whose ids also begin with 'act'.
as you can imagin calling enable() on a link throws an error.

im not very familier with the css select syntax used in prototype, and
i am unsure if it is possible to limit the select to only form
elements i.e. input, select, button

i tried something like this:

$('myForm').select('[input|select]*[id^="act"]').invoke('enable');

but i suppose thats more regex then selector syntax.

is there anyway of achieving this without resorting to something like
$('myForm').select('*[id^="act"]').each(function(e) { if(e.type ==
'input') { e.enable(); } );
