Is there a jQuery selector to check if a tag has any attributes?

Question

In trying to select elements that have any attributes, the following throws a jQuery syntax error.

$("div[*]")

Is there a selector to check if a tag has any attributes?

Tested with jQuery 1.3

Answer 1

I don't think so but this should do the trick

$('*').filter(function(){return this.attributes.length;})

and the opposite:

$('*').filter(function(){return !this.attributes.length;})
