Question

jQuery select by Href inside specific Div

Answer 1

A:

window.location.pathname already starts with a /, I'm not exactly sure how your setup is, but it should be more like this (without the / between host and path):

var url=window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host+window.location.pathname;
jQuery('#accordion a[href*="'+url+'"]').css("font-weight", "bold");

Answer 2

A:

I guess attribute selectors work independently. This worked for me.

jQuery("#accordion").find("a[href*='" + url + "']").css("font-weight", "bold");

If you need to target only the child anchor tags, you can use the children() method instead of the find() method.

This is the working for me:

<html>
<head>
<title>Nithesh Chandra</title>
<style>
a.test { color: green; }
</style>
<script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
</script>
<script language="javascript">
$(function() {
  $('#testDiv').find("a[href*='http://google.com/']").addClass('test');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="testDiv">
  <a href="http://google.com/"&gt;Nithesh&lt;/a&gt;
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hope it helps.

actually i tried find and it works only if i select (a) otherwise it gives me nothing :( it seems the selection for the href is not working fine here

try href without the *. I mean if you know the exact url, you can always match it as "Equals" rather than "Contains". Check http://visualjquery.com/ for more options.

no it's not always that it will be matching exactly.. the parameter may be switch the places from others or the parameters can get deferent values.. that's why i'm using like or contain
