Question

I can’t get my head around how to do this?

Given a page full of anchor tags, I only want to select those elements with the CSS property display:block.

I think I can do it with a jQuery loop (warning pseudo code!)

var myarray;
$('a').each(function(arg1, arg2) { 
    if ($(arg2).css('display')=='block')
    myarray.push(arg2);
}

But isn’t there a simpler way?

Answer 1

You can use filter with a function as the parameter.

$('a').filter(function (index) {
                  return $(this).css("display") === "block";
              })
