button selector

Description: Selects all button elements and elements of type button.

  • version added: 1.0jQuery( ":button" )

An equivalent selector to $(":button") using valid CSS is $("button, input[type='button']").

Additional Notes:

  • Because :button is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :button cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. To achieve the best performance when using :button to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use .filter(":button").

Example:

Find all button inputs and mark them.
