jsp - How to exclude one textbox from the others that are using isNumeric validation with jQuery? -

i'm using jquery 1.11x in jsp page textboxes. i'm working 5 text boxes , need make sure have numeric entries, however, want exclude first 1 has string representation of date in , validate 1 it's id or other way if guarantee uniqueness.

the code below checks of textboxes , fails on 1 string date value, if other textboxes have numbers. date format dd/mm/yyyy.

if(!$.isnumeric($('input:text').val())) {         alert("all text boxes must have numeric values!");         return false;     } 

i couldn't above code work :not, tried selector, failed work.

if(!$.isnumeric($('input[type=checkbox]:not("#specialtextbox")').val())) {         alert("all text boxes must have numeric values!");         return false;     } 

how exclude particular textbox string date,but still validate others have numbers?

you need loop textboxes

take of jquery each function here.

$('input[type="text"]').each(function(){     if ($(this).attr("id") !== 'specialtextbox') {        if(!$.isnumeric($(this).val()))        {          alert("all text boxes must have numeric values!");          return false;        }     } });
