How do I select all inputs in a form but not of type button, unless the button has the class called, say, 'preview'?
I started writing
input:not([type="button"]), input.preview
and then wondered if it was appropriate. The first part of the selector selects all non-button inputs while the second part should select
buttons with a 'preview' class. Will the first part discount the second?

What do you mean by "appropriate", if your mother-in-law will concur? Discounts only in your mother-in-law's delicatessen!
The proof surely is in the eating.
<style>
input {background:yellow;}
input:not([type="button"]), input.preview {background:navy;}
</style>
<input type='button'>
<input type='button'>
<input type='button'>
<input type='button' class='preview'>
<input class='preview'>

By "appropriate" I meant that it does what I am expecting/hoping it will
and have behave counter intuitively (have the expected action discounted).

Thanks, I ran your example and the selector works.

and have behave counter intuitively (have the expected action discounted).
Appropriate means, imho, 'working' + 'socially correct',
I don't think intuition has much to do with it.

No, the two selectors are treated independently. So the result is the
union of all elements that match either selector.
Basically
selector1, selector2 {
styles;
}
is equivalent to
selector1 {
styles;
}
selector2 {
styles;
}

Ah, so the comma acts like an "or".
