Question

I want to do something like this:

var sp = el.getElement('option[value="Option With Spaces"]');

ie. Select an option element in a select drop down box that so happens to have spaces in the value field.

Mootools doesn’t seem to like it. I can’t find any documentation that can resolve this.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Version: Mootools 1.1

Answer 1

in your old mootools 1.11, you need to use filter if your attribute/property is not a single word (even – breaks it so data-nnn will fail as well).

var el = document.getElement("select");
var sp = el.getElements("option").filter(function(el) {
    return el.getProperty("value") == "foo bar";
}).getLast() || null;

console.log(sp);
