:button selector disregards submit button

[[email protected]…]

Expected behaviour:

The following Selector should set the value of all input elements to empty (except all buttons)

$(':input:not(:button)').val("");

actual behaviour:

The value of submit buttons get erased.

Seems to be working as documented. Submit buttons are not <input type=button> or <button> elements, try :submit instead:
