Also note that the selector needs to have a comma separator so it becomes 'or' logic: `'input, textarea'` — Rory McCrossan, Apr 05 '18 at 13:13

Simple solution is to create a separate eventhandler for each type and handle it from there. — WernerW, Apr 05 '18 at 13:14

Better you can try like this forms also have an elements collection, sometimes this differs from children such as when the form tag is in a table and is not closed.

$("form").each(function(){
  $(this).find(':input') //<-- Should return all input elements in that specific form.
});

This is completely unrelated to what the OP has asked, and what they are attempting to achieve. You seem to have misunderstood the question. – Rory McCrossan Apr 05 '18 at 13:12
