Jquery selector - disable inputs excluding specific input

Question

I am trying to disable all inputs in the form excluding a hidden input with the name __RequestVerificationToken

I tried

$('form :input:not(name=__RequestVerificationToken)').prop('disabled', true);

but its not working, any help would be appreciated.

---

Apologies, I missed some details -- see below test

<form>
  <input value="disable me" />
  <input value="disable me" />  
  <input value="disable me" />
  <input name="__RequestVerificationToken" value="not me" />
  <br />
  <br />
  <button>Disable All Except __RequestVerificationToken</button>
</form>

$("button").on("click", () => {
   $('form :input').prop('disabled', true); this works
  // $('form :input:not(name=__RequestVerificationToken)').prop('disabled', true); // this not
})

You are missing the [] for the attribute selector

 $("button").on("click", (e) => { e.preventDefault(); $('form:input:not([name=__RequestVerificationToken])').prop('disabled', true); // ^^ missing braces ^^ })

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <form> <input value="disable me" /> <input value="disable me" /> <input value="disable me" /> <input name="__RequestVerificationToken" value="not me" /> <br /> <br /> <button>Disable All Except __RequestVerificationToken</button> </form>
