jQuery :submit Selector

Last Updated : 17 Nov, 2022

The jQuery :submit Selector is an inbuilt selector which is used to select the submit button and input element having submitted type field. If the type of button is undefined, most of the standard browsers use it as type=”submit”.

Syntax:

$(":submit")

Example 1: In this example, we will select the input element which has a submit field button by using jQuery :submit Selector.
