In this post we shall see on how to use the jQuery textarea selector to select all the textarea elements in a page without specifying the id or name of element explicitly.

The following script lists out all the textarea elements in the page

$('textarea').each(function() {

   alert('TextArea: ' + $(this).attr('id'));

});

The following script lists out all the textarea elements in the page on click of the btnTypeSelector button.

$('#btnTypeSelector').click(function(event) {

    event.preventDefault();               

    //

    // TextArea - Type Selector

    $('textarea').each(function() {

      alert('TextArea: ' + $(this).attr('id'));

    });

});
