CSS Input Type Selectors - Possible to have an “or” or “not” syntax?

Question

If they exist in programming),

If I have an HTML form with the following inputs:

Answer 1

CSS3 has a pseudo-class called :not()

input:not([type='checkbox']) {    
    visibility: hidden;
}

If :not() is supported, you'll only see the checkbox.
    	                              

  
text: ()
  
  
password ()
    	
  
checkbox ()
 
 

Multiple selectors

As Vincent mentioned, it's possible to string multiple :not()s together:

input:not([type='checkbox']):not([type='submit'])

CSS4, which is not yet widely supported, allows multiple selectors in a :not()

input:not([type='checkbox'],[type='submit'])

Legacy support

All modern browsers support the CSS3 syntax. At the time this question was asked, we needed a fall-back for IE7 and IE8. One option was to use a polyfill like IE9.js. Another was to exploit the cascade in CSS:

input {
   // styles for most inputs
}   

input[type=checkbox] {
  // revert back to the original style
} 

input.checkbox {
  // for completeness, this would have worked even in IE3!
}
