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

CSS3 has a pseudo-class called :not()

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

<p>If <code>:not()</code> is supported, you'll only see the checkbox.</p>
                                      
<ul>
  <li>text: (<input type="text">)</li>  
  <li>password (<input type="password">)</li>       
  <li>checkbox (<input type="checkbox">)</li> 
 </ul>

Multiple selectors

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

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

CSS4, which is supported in many of the latest browser releases, 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!
}
