Selecting element type with attribute value in jQuery

Question

Good morning, everyone.

Can someone please let me know the correct way to select an element type with a given attribute? In my particular case I'm trying to access a label with a an attribute of "for" that has a value of "P500_CB_TRANSFERUNIVERSITY".

I would have though the propery jQuery syntax would be something like
$('label [for=P500_CB_TRANSFERUNIVERSITY]') but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance, Matt

Answer 1

Looks like you are missing quotes around the attribute value. This should work fine:

$("label[for='P500_CB_TRANSFERUNIVERSITY']")

Answer 2

Try:

$('label[for=P500_CB_TRANSFERUNIVERSITY]')

which is exactly the same, just with the space removed.

Answer 3

Just take the space out and it should work:

$("label[for=P500_CB_TRANSFERUNIVERSITY]")
