In other words, the bare <code>$( \":text\" )</code> is equivalent to <code>$( \"*:text\" )</code>, so <code>$( \"input:text\" )</code> should be used instead. </p>\n    <p><strong>Note:</strong> As of jQuery 1.5.2, <code>:text</code> selects <code>input</code> elements that have no specified <code>type</code> attribute (in which case <code>type=\"text\"</code> is implied).  </p>\n    <p>This difference in behavior between <code>$( \":text\" )</code> and <code>$( \"[type=text]\" )</code>, can be seen below:</p>\n    <pre><code>\n$( \"&lt;input&gt;\" ).is( \"[type=text]\" ); // false\n$( \"&lt;input&gt;\" ).is( \":text\" ); // true\n    </code></pre>\n  "}],"slug":"text-selector"}
