JQuery :: Finding/selecting Items Identified By An Attribute Whose Value Contains Quote Characters
Jul 2, 2009
I am writing a test harness for a web app using jquery. When recording a test, I add handlers for user interaction events (e.g. click on an A tag), and record details of the tag clicked. When playing back, I need to find the tag (so I can emulate a click on it). The A tags do not have id elements - the only unique way to identify then is to use the href. However, I have hrefs containing quote characters [typical hrefs include "javascript:Go('fred')" and even "javascript:Go("jimmy's ")"]. How do I construct a jquery selector to match these?
My first attempt (before I noticed the presence of the quotes) was
$("A[href='" + href + "']")
Interestingly, this hung the browser completely for many minutes!

I'm learning jQuery with XML. I'm familiar with other query languages such as XPath. I'm having a little bit of difficulty wrapping my brain around how jQuery works but I think I can make the leap if I see a solution to a problem I know how to solve with other methods Given the following XML, please share a jQuery solution to finding the value of attribute B in elements named bar where attribute A has the value 30:

I've been trying to work this out for a bit now but seem to have come a bit unstuck. I'd like to be able to use .find to search an <UL> element and find out if there are any items with two attributes the same as a search choice. i.e. : My UL looks like this :
<ul>
<li id="1" typeref="E" typeid="1">Element 1</li>
<li id="2" typeref="E" typeid="2">Element 2</li>
</ul>
I would like to do a search of the above UL and get back the id of the first LI element you can see in the list there by doing a search for typeref="E" && typeid="1". Is that possible using Jquery?

Example: 834F7

I have a simple table structure, like this:
I'm standing at the first tr and I want to select every following tr whose class does include "detail".
I'm trying to do it with the following idiom:
However it's returning every tr, no matter if it includes "detail" or not.

I am trying to select all anchors that point to external links and do not contain images (so that I can append an image indicating such). The first in this multistage process is to select anchors that have href values beginning with "http" but it appears that .attr() sets the value, as opposed to retrieving it.

In IE6 and IE7, the following results in an empty jQuery selector being returned:
$("form[name='formname']")
I tried matching on other attributes of my form such as:
$("form[method='post']")
which works without any problems.
It seems that the only situation that does not work is when trying to match the name attribute on forms. I am guessing this is just a browser bug/limitation but is it something jQuery could potentially work around? I just would prefer matching forms by name for certain situations since it makes the most sense semantically in many cases for me. Would love to know the reason why this happens. Found this bug first in jQuery 1.4.4 but forgot about it at the time until it just came up again which I replicated in version 1.5.2 and then again when I upgraded to test in version 1.6.4.

how to implement this bit of UI wizardry. I have a list of categories and the user is asked to pick all applicable items and then rate them individually. Right now I have a long list with checkboxes. Whenever a user checks one of the boxes a rating control pops up next to it and they just select the number of stars they want to rate the item.
Although this works for my purposes, it's a bit clumsy and takes up a lot of real estate (I have 30 items in the list so far and this may grow). What would be the best way to get this done?

I am missing something here but this is what I want to do. I want to select a checkbox as such
$('chkRequired');
Easy enough. But I want to then use $(this).attr('checked','true'); and then $(this).show(); and then $(this).next().show();
How can I formulate that into something like:

I have a javascript index that is similar to the one in the Windows
help. It has a text field that allows the you to type text and it
finds the closest item in the list below the text field. The list is
simply a select element with options that looks like this:
<SELECT>
<OPTION VALUE="1">A
<OPTION VALUE="2">B
<OPTION VALUE="3">C
</SELECT>
My problem is when I have a large list, the closest entry selects the
item in the list at the bottom of the list box, not the top of the
list box.
So here's the question: Is there a way to get the list box to display
the selected item and move it to the top of the list and not just find
it at the bottom?
To get an idea of what I 'want' it to look like, in Windows, go to
Help & Support (in XP it's in your start menu) and pick Index. I
basically want it to mirror that functionality.

As recently as 1.4.3 $('input:text') would find input elements with no type attribute, but after upgrading to 1.5.1 that is no longer the case.
Is this a bug or an intended refactor to be more standards compliant?
FYI - this is the selector I now have to use: $('input:text,input:not([type])')

I have a cgi script (using perl for database queries) in which I have two select boxes. I am populating the left select box with rows from a database, and then provide buttons for people to move items to the right select box.
So far so good, everything works, the move right, move left, and move right all and move left all buttons work, data is always sorted in both lists. My only problem is, when I click the submit button, the follow up program only displays data that was highlighted/selected in the right select box, not all of the data in the right select box.
I don't know how to tell the script, via javascript, to highlight everything in the right select box when the submit form button is clicked. I would think i could just call a function via -onClick for the submit button. I could use some help with the function to select all data in that list.

I have a dynamic table where I would like to update cells by using a drop list selecting from half a dozen items. I have searched W3Schools for a tutorial but I am obviously looking in the wrong place. The working code I have thus far is:-
function insRow()
{
var x=document.getElementById('myTable').insertRow(1);
var a=x.insertCell(0);
var b=x.insertCell(1);
var c=x.insertCell(2);
var d=x.insertCell(3);
var e=x.insertCell(4);
var f=x.insertCell(5);

i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...
$("<div/>",{
id: 'tooltip-'+rand,
class: 'dock-tooltip',
[code]....
I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....

I'm working with a large (and unweildy) ASP.NET application, and there is a lot of jQuery code that uses selectors like this:
[name=_aspnetControl$_withASubControl] And unfortunately, some selectors that also look like this:
[name^=_someAspNetControl$_radioButtonList].
In other words, the effort to remove the $ from the attribute selectors would be monumental. If it is possible to escape the $ symbols, I can do that easily enough, but unfortunately the situation right now means that I can't upgrade to jQuery 1.5.

I have a div on my page with an id of "quote". It contains a quotation and an image of the person who made it, like so:
<div id="quote">
<blockquote>Quotation blah blah blah<p>Joe Bloggs</p></blockquote>
<img src="joe_bloggs.jpg" alt="Joe Bloggs">
</div>
I'd like to make the quote dynamic so that a different quote and accompanying image is shown at random when the page is refreshed.

I am creating a simple web form and am having trouble with a quick jQuery script I am using. A few of the fields on my form are not needed if the topic is not "Get a Quote" so I have a script that hides them if "Get a Quote" is not selected in a dropdown box. I does hide them if I select something else but when I go back to "Get a Quote" the fields do not reappear.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#CAT_Custom_169338").change(function(){
if ($(this).val() == "Get A Quote" ) {
$(".showmore").slideDown("fast"); //Slide Down Effect
} else {
$(".showmore").slideUp("fast");
//Slide Up Effect
}});});
