Let's see :
$("input[name='name']")
So, what is that exactly ?
- $() is a method
- "input[name='name']" is the only argument of $() ; oh my gosh, it's a
string !
So I guess I can do this : $("input[name='" + "name" + "']") and... My oh my
it still works !
Well, let's try something a little bit more acrobatic :
var field_name = "name";
$("input[name='" + field_name + "']")
Awesome.
Hope it helps.
