I’ve attempted and searched for jQuery code that will alert “English” from the attribute selector. It’s simple a newbie questions, but a good exercise. Would some kind soul lend wisdom?

JavaScript

$('p[language]').alert(this.text());

    jQuery object’s do not have an alert method. Do this instead:

    alert($('p[language]').attr('language'));

    The selector p[language] will find the <p> element that has a language attribute.

    The attr method returns the value of the attribute, in this case, “English”. If the selector matched more than one element, this method will retrieve the value of the first match.

    The alert method is a global function (i.e. it’s a member of the window object).
