jQuery Attribute selector with a period

Question

I\'m trying to use a jQuery selector that finds all input fields with a specific name:

$(\'input[name=Filter\']).click(function() {
    // do something
});
<         


        

Answer 1

Based on my comment to the question I can confirm that this does work...

$('input[name="Parent.Filter"]').click(function() {
});

Working example here

Answer 2

This works, you just need "" around the name:

$('input[name="Parent.Filter"]').click(function() {
});

Answer 3

Use $("input[name='Parent.Filter']")

Answer 4

Quotes are mandatory, and in this instance it won't work without them.

$('input[name="Parent.Filter"]').click(function() {
});

From the API reference:

value An attribute value. Quotes are mandatory.

Here's a jsFiddle that demonstrates this.
