:image Selector

image selector

version added: 1.0jQuery(':image')

Description: Selects all elements of type image.

:image is equivalent to [type="image"]

Additional Notes:

  • Because :image is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :image cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. For better performance in modern browsers, use [type="image"] instead.

Example:

Finds all image inputs.

    $("div").text("For this type jQuery found " + input.length + ".")
            .css("color", "red");
    $("form").submit(function () { return false; }); // so it won't submit

</script>
