I am using Jquery to find a class by variable. So,
var className = \"whatever\";
$(\"#container ul li\") if contains element with className
Is the className
on the element? If so, you could do this:
$('#container ul li.' + className)...
You're just concatenating the className into the selector string (with the class selector).
Or this will give you the same result.
$('#container ul li').filter('.' + className)...
Which is the similar to your .find()
solution, but uses .filter() to limit the elements found to those with the
className
.
If the element with the className
is a descendant of the element, then using .find() should work, or you could do:
$('#container ul li .' + className)...
...which almost looks the same as the one above, but introduces a space after li
, which is a descendant selector.
