The difference of the multi-selector syntax vs. the extended selector
should be pointed out, in case it's not immediately apparent. From the
OP's original request:
$("*[name='someName'][value='someValue'||'someOtherValue']");
in multi-selector syntax this would actually be:
$("[name=someName][value=someValue],[name=someName]
[value=otherValue]");
so the name=someName has to be repeated for each value. It's more
friendly than this
$("*[name='someName'][value='someValue']").add("*[name='someName']
[value='someOtherValue']");
but still suffers from having to repeat the name=someName portion.
