jQuery Selectors (Form and Hierarchy)
After discussing Attribute selectors and many filters in the previous part lets move ahead and understand the remaining couple of selectors. So far, you know Basic selectors, Basic filters, Attribute selectors, Child filters, Content filters and Visibility filters of jQuery. In this article I cover the remaining selectors viz. Form selectors and Hierarchy selectors. Form selectors allow you to select FORM elements based on their type (textbox, checkbox, radio button etc.) or their status (selected, checked, disabled etc.).
