jQuery select img with src

Question

I want to select an image (with jQuery) by the src attribute. The Image is inside an ul and a collection of div\'s. The id of the ul is \"sortable\".

Here is my HTML

Answer 1

I'm not sure why the difference, but try using the $= attribute ends with selector.

Seems to work.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/bTf7K/

$('#sortable').find('img[src$="/test1.jpg"]')

EDIT: The difference may have something to do with the method of getting the attribute value that jQuery uses at different times.

Using native methods:

element.getAttribute("src") // returns the actual value that was set

element.src // returns the value but with the full domain path

So I'm guessing jQuery uses both of these at different times.
