this should do it: $('a[href^=css]:first')
Don't forget to put quotes around the selector. --Karl ____________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On May 31, 2009, at 1:55 AM, ProfCrazyHorse wrote:
I'm still trying to get the hang of the syntax. For example, if I want to select the first anchor tag on the page whose href begins with "css", this doesn't work: (a[href^=css](a:first)) What's the right way to do this? Thanks!
