jQuery "not readonly" selector

Question

I'm looking for something along the lines of...

$(':input:not(readonly)') // all inputs which are not readonly

but struggling to find the syntax.

Any pointers? thanks

Answer 1

This should work:

$(":input:not([readonly='readonly'])")

Answer 2

You can use jQuery disabled

$('#target').attr("disabled", true);

so

var testMonkey = $('#element');
if (testMonkey.attr('disabled') == true) {
  //this is NOT read only
} else {
  //this IS read only
}

NOTE: You can also do the same with $('#tbox').removeAttr('readonly');

Answer 3

I suppose you are looking for something like the following:

$('input:not([readonly="readonly"])')

Have a look at jQuery's various attribute-selectors.
