javascript - JQuery selector using value, but unknown attribute -

how can use jquery search elements, have specific attribute value, regardless of attribute tag?

like:

$("[*='myvalue']") 

should find

<a href="target.html" target="myvalue">... <tr change="myvalue">... 

the first one, because of "target" attribute, second 1 "change" attribute.

is there better solution iterate on attributes?

you can use custom pseudo-selector filter on attributes.

following jquery way.

$.expr[":"].attrfilter = function(elem, index, val){     var len = $(elem.attributes).filter(function () {         return this.value === val[3];     }).length;     if (len > 0) {         return elem;     } }; $('body *:attrfilter("value")').hide(); 

fiddle demo

the $.expr[":"].attrfilter, extension mechanism custom selectors. can pass parameter.

---

syntax :

$.expr[':'].selector = function(elem, index, match) {   } 

• elem current dom element
• index index of elem

• match array contains information custom selector,where parameter passed lies @ 3rd index. (reference 1,reference 2)

  • match[0] – contains full pseudo-class selector call. in example :attrfilter("value")
  • match[1] – contains selector name only. in example attrfilter
  • match[2] – denotes which, if any, type of quotes used in parameter - expression. i.e. single (‘) or double (“). in example empty.
  • match[3] – gives parameters, i.e. contained in brackets. in example `value
