Select all checkbox elements except disabled ones

Question

I want to select all checkbox elements expect disabled ones,

this is my html

Answer 1

Use not() to exclude things with a disabled attribute.

$('#chkSelectAll').click(function () {
    var checked_status = this.checked;

    $('div#item input[type=checkbox]').not("[disabled]").each(function () {
               this.checked = checked_status;
    });
});

more concise

$('#chkSelectAll').click(function () {
    var checked_status = this.checked;
    $('div#item input[type=checkbox]').not(":disabled").prop("checked", checked_status);
});
