jquery file type selector

Question

Hi,

What is the correct jQuery syntax to only select certain file types?

e.g.

$("#fragment-1 a[SELECT ONLY ANCHOR TAGS WITH FILE TYPE OF MP3]").hide();

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this attribute substring selector:

#fragment-1 a[href$=".mp3"]

The a[href$=".mp3"] will select only those a elements whose href attribute value ends with .mp3.

Answer 2

This should work

$("#fragment-1 a[href$=.mp3]").hide();
