Jquery - get disabled elements

Question

I am trying to use Jquery to iterate through an array of textboxes where i only want textboxes that are 'enabled'. can someone give me the best way to do this? Would i use the filter method ?

(ie:)

var arrayOfTextBoxes = $("[id$='" + textBoxId + "']");

var enabledTextBoxes = $(arrayOfTextBoxes).????

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the :enabled selector.

//this will find the checkbox if it is enabled
$("#"+textBoxId+":enabled")

Answer 2

$(arrayOfTextBoxes).filter(':enabled')

or

$("[id$='" + textBoxId + "']:enabled")

in the first place.
