Question

I added a fake attribute to all my elements on the page, for example myId=100, each element has a different fake id.
Now i need to find an element according to the fake id, is this possible?
I tried doing

$("#myFrame").contents().find('a').each(function () {
    if ($(this).attr['myid'] === 100) {
        $(this).hide();
    }
});    

Any better ideas?
thank you

Answer 1

$(this).attr['myid'] should be $(this).attr('myid') (attr is a function).

You can also use the attribute selector:

$("#myFrame").contents().find('a[myId="100"]').hide();

You should avoid adding custom attributes to HTML elements. If you explain the problem we might be able to suggest a better way.
