## disabled selector

Description: Selects all elements that are disabled.

- #### version added: 1.0jQuery( ":disabled" )

As with other pseudo-class selectors (those that begin with a ":"), it is recommended to precede it with a tag name or some other selector; otherwise, the universal selector ("*") is implied. In other words, the bare `$(':disabled')` is equivalent to `$('*:disabled')`, so `$('input:disabled')` or similar should be used instead.

Although their resulting selections are usually the same, the `:disabled` selector is subtly different from the `[disabled]` attribute selector;`:disabled` matches elements that are actually disabled while `[disabled]` only checks for the existence of the disabled attribute.

The `:disabled` selector should only be used for selecting HTML elements that support the `disabled` attribute (`<button>`, `<input>`, `<optgroup>`, `<option>`, `<select>`, `<textarea>`, `<menuitem>`, and `<fieldset>`).

## Example:

Finds all input elements that are disabled.
