jQuery: Select elements where align = "center"

Question

I'm trying to select only paragraphs where align="center" (inline styling).

jQuery(p.MsoNormal).attr('align', 'center').addClass('av-tablecell');

This seems to select all paragraph elements, even without align=center.

Answer 1

Try like below,

jQuery('p.MsoNormal[align=center]').addClass('av-tablecell');

Answer 2

Your code is setting the "align" attribute on p.MsoNormal to "center". You need to include it in your selection to get only the elements that already have "align=center" like so:

jQuery('p.MsoNormal[align="center"]').addClass('av-tablecell');
