jQuery find empty inputs for particular form-CodePudding

I am trying to find and set values on empty form fields, but I need to only select the fields that are in a particular form. The form does not have an ID, but I know which form I am in by the link that was clicked. Current code is like this:

$('.analysis__main').on('click', 'a[data-allocation]', function (e) {
       e.preventDefault();
       var $link = $(e.currentTarget);
       form = $link.parents('form')
       var emptyFields = $('input:text').filter(function() { return $(this).val() === ""; });
       emptyFields.each(function() {
           $(this).val('50.0')
       });
 });

The problem is that the current code assigns values for ALL empty fields on the page. I cannot figure out a way to assign values only for the inputs on the selected form.

CodePudding user response：

You need to look inside the form instance using find() rather than use the generic selector for all text inputs in the page

Change

var emptyFields = $('input:text').filter(...);

To:

var emptyFields = form.find('input:text').filter(...);
