Question

I have a div with a class .imagepicker that is assigned an imgPickerId via .data("imgPickerId, somevalue) call. I need to access this particular .imagepicker via jQuery selector.

I have examined several questions on SO and have read several blogs – doesn’t work in my case.

Here is how I am trying to select it, along with a chrome debug tools watch proof that it is actually assigned:

An id is 1914. How do I select it correctly with jQuery 1.7.1?

Answer 1

One way would be to use .filter:

var $picker = $(".imagepicker").filter(function() {
    return $(this).data("imgPickedId") == 1914;
});
