Subject: [jQuery] Re: xpath not returning objects



IF that's the case, http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Traversing/Selectors#Using_CSS_and_XPath_Together
should be changed.

That page says:

Get the input field's value with the name of 'bar':

$("inp...@name=bar]").val();

All checked radio buttons:

$("inp...@type=radio][@checked]")

it also says:

e...@foo=bar] an E element whose "foo" attribute value is exactly equal
to "bar"

which is what I did.. Why all of a sudden Jquery doesn't use '@' in
xpath expressions?

Keep the docs up to date? Are there better up to date docs I should be
looking at??

Thanks again for all the help.. very much appreciated :)

jQuery does not recognise @ as attribute indicator. Just remove the @
from your code and enclose the attribute value with ':

$("input:checkbox[name='media_type']").click(function() {
if (this.checked == true) {
alert('checkbox true');
$("div[class='mediafield']").hide
('fast');

});
