Ok. I got the answer. its like $("input[value='GO']")
BUt now my problem is that while rendering the button is rendered as: <input type="button" value="GO" onclick="myFunc();" /> no I want to attach my event and cancel the default event, ie. I do not want to call the myFunc. But instead my own function that I have attached as: $("input[value='GO']").click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); alert("Default Event Cancelled"); }); But still its not canceling the default event.
