Question

after reading jquery xml select I wanted to do something similar with this rdf/xml:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
 <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://someURI/999">
  <dc:relation rdf:resource="http://www.someURI/888" />
 </rdf:Description>
 <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.someURI/001">
  <dc:relation rdf:resource="http://www.someURI/987/777"/>
 </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

I want to select the node with the attribute “rdf:about” ending with 001. I tried:

var node = $(xml).find("rdf:Description[rdf:about$=001]");

But it wont work. It returns the whole thing document.
Any ideas?

Edit: Corrected spelling error. Doesn’t change the problem, though.

Uhm… I think is an escape problem. Try to use

var node = $(xml).find("rdf\\:Description[rdf\\:about$=001]");
