This should be an easy one, but I can't find a good example anywhere. I'm trying to select a particular element on my page that has a class of 'statuslight' and a title attribute of one of three options. The option (it will depend) is stored in a variable called 'currentStatus'. I've seen some examples, and I'm guessing this is the right track, but I need to know for sure:
$(".statuslight[title]='" + currentStatus + "'");

In jQuery, the class and ID selectors are the same as in CSS. If you want to select elements with a certain class, use a dot ( . ) and the class name. If you want to select elements with a certain ID, use the hash symbol ( # ) and the ID name.
The [attribute|=value] selector selects each element with a specified attribute, with a value equal to a specified string (like "en") or starting with that string followed by a hyphen (like "en-us").
To select elements with a specific class, write a period (.) character, followed by the name of the class. You can also specify that only specific HTML elements should be affected by a class. To do this, start with the element name, then write the period (.)
attributeStartsWith selector Description: Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value beginning exactly with a given string.
Very close:
$(".statuslight[title='" + currentStatus + "']"); Supposing your currentStatus is an array, you could get all statuslight elements with a title that contains any of the currentStatus values with:
$(".statuslight[title='" + currentStatus[0] + "'], .statuslight[title='" + currentStatus[1] + "'], .statuslight[title='" + currentStatus[2] + "']"); Alternatively, if your title has multiple statuses (title="status1 status2 status3"), and currentStatus is only one item you would use this selector:
$(".statuslight[title~='" + currentStatus + "']"); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
