finding a certain tr by attribute in an array of tr's

Question

hi im trying to find a tr inside an array of tr's the attribute name is docId

is there anykind of jquery selector for this?

i dont want to just iterate throught the array with a for loop and find it myself.

unlesss you will say i have no choice...

thank you

Answer 1

$('tr[name=docId]')

That makes usage of the 'Attribute equals` selector. If your're dealing with a jQuery wrappet set, this is probably what you want.

Even, if that selector internally will also iterate over the set.

Answer 2

if you already have the array of trs on hand, and you got them through a jquery selector

array.filter('tr[attr=val]')

may be what you need.
