The jQuery ” :enabled” pseudo-class selector helps to find all the input element that are enabled. This pseudo-class selector should only be used for selecting HTML elements that support the disabled attribute i.e (<button>, <input>, <textarea>, <select>, <option>, <optgroup>)

As with other pseudo-class selector like (a:hover) is also recommended preceding it with a tag name or with some other selector, otherwise the universal selector (“*“) is implied like $( “*:enabled” ) or $( “input:enabled”).

Syntax:

$( "input:enabled" ).val( "This box is enabled" );

Note: (:enabled) select elements that have their boolean disabled property strictly to false. 

HTML code: The following code demonstrates the :enabled pseudo-class selector to find all the input elements that are enabled using jQuery.

HTML




<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Elements that are enabled</title>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
      
    <h1 style="color: green; margin-left: 120px;">GeeksforGeeks</h1>
      
    <!-- The form contains three boxes out 
         of which two boxes are disabled -->
      
    <form>
        <!-- Set input disabled -->
        <input style="border: 0.8px solid green;" name="email" disabled>
        <input style="border: 0.8px solid green;" name="id">
        <input style="border: 0.8px solid green;" name="email" disabled>
    </form>
  
    <!-- The val is displayed in the box in
          which the input element is enabled -->
      
    <script>
        $( "input:enabled" ).val( "This box is enabled" );
    </script>
      
</body>
</html>


Output:

Enabled
