Menu
I have a text area that is required to be filled in before continuing on with a particular process.
For normal text boxes I can retrieve all the blank inputs by adding the attribute selector [value=''] the the selection string.
When I do that with text area it does not work.
If I am in IE and not in strict mode it does work, but that I not something that I want to do.
If I first select all text areas and then perform a filter call with [value=''] as the selector it does work.
Is this by design? It makes sense from the standpoint that a text area does not really have a value attribute, but I would guess that the filter call would not work.
Here is an example code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT SRC="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
$(function () {
var Rslt1 = $("textarea[value='']").size();
var Rslt2 = $("textarea").filter("[value='']").size();
alert(Rslt1 + ' ' + Rslt2);
})
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TEXTAREA></TEXTAREA>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In IE 8, Chrome 4 and Firefox 3.6 the result is 0 1 as described above.
