jquery selectors

Question

Hi, Im am struggling with trying to figure out a selector for this kind of html

<input type="hidden" value="2.0" name="A_ITEM-AMOUNT[1]">

Im trying to filter alot of these lines with a jQuery expression but has no luck in my matches ( either too much or no match at all).

I'm using the following jquery string.

 $("[id$='aform']").contents()
   .filter("[name^='A_ITEM-AMOUNT\\[1']")
   .each(function (index,element)

Any ideas?

Best Regards Olme

You can use a simpler selector, like this:

$("[id$='aform'] input[name='A_ITEM-AMOUNT[1]']").each(function(index, element) {
  //do something
});

You can give it a try here, also if the [id$='aform'] refers to a <form>, make it form[id$='aform'] to be much more efficient.
