Question

I would try to find all “absolute” elements in my page; with jQuery I though it would be something like

$('[position="absolute"]')

but on ff 10.0.2 I cannot find an element…

Also, I cannot run the exaple code on http://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/
Is there something wrong on this syntax?

Answer 1

You could use filter()

$('*').filter(function(){
   var position = $(this).css('position');
   return position === 'absolute';
});

You can’t use attribute equals selector because because that selector would search elements with an attribute called position that equals absolute like this

 <div position="absolute">

but in your case position is a css property
