Yeah I knew it was the attribute selection that was XPath. Thanks for the link, too! :o)

BTW, Karl. Your solution worked great!

Cheers,
Chris

The attribute selection is XPath style, which is part of jQuery's 'supported, but different' CSS selectors:

Thanks Karl. That's XPath notation, right? I've got to pick some of that up. I know next to nothing about it. There seems to be a problem with the example I gave in my original post, so I'm going to give your solution a shot. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!


Cheers,
Chris

Hi Christopher,

I think you can get away with using an attribute selector on the td:

$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each(function() {
  //do whatever it is you're going to do...
});

Hi folks,

I've got a page with a table and various tds that look something like this:

<td
    id            = "SomeUniqueID"
    class         = "someClass"
    originalColor = "someColor"
    state         = "Enabled"
    status        = "off"
    preferred     = "Yes"
    dateValue     = "someDateValue"
></td>

In some cases the status is set to "on" and in others it's left as "off". I'd like to be able to get the dateValue that is associated with each td that has a status of "on".

Is there a better way to do that than this:

$("td).attr("status").each(function(){
    if(this.status == "on"){
       //do whatever it is i'm going to do...
    }
});

I'm thinkin' this might be it, but thought I'd check with the group to see if maybe there was a more super-cool way to accomplish this. :o)

Thanks,
Chris
