jQuery select by input name

Question

I have this input:

<tr><td class="forms">Price:</td><td><input type="text" name="price" size="30"/></td></tr>

How can I call this input?

Example: With this code I call to the id:

$("#numberclasses").change(function() {

And I call to the class with this:

$(".numberclasses").change(function() {

But How can I call to the name?

Use:

$('input[name="price"]').change(function() {

Check out the jQuery selectors docs for more info.

missing quotes? input[name="price"]

This is true, however the docs show with the quotes in the format jQuery( "[attribute='value']" ) so I suppose it's best to follow suit

@TomWalters I did not say to follow W3Schools!! ;D just talking from experience. Kidding, Sure, let's follow the DOCS. always.

@roXon I rarely use the quotes myself, but the jQuery docs are so new and shiny its hard to disagree with them!

@TomWalters HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH TOM ! you made my day! +10 to your answer! I almost killed my self with my coffee
