Syntax for finding multiple attributes

Question

I am using the following jQuery XPath to find any element with the attribute "pathname" (a variable that takes the page location from the URL).

var local_url = "*[url=" + pathname + "]";

However, I now want to find whether this variable exists in one of two element attributes: url or alturl. How would I phrase this in XPath syntax so I don't have to use an if/else statement? (Eg, find all attributes where url=pathname OR alturl = pathname.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

您可以使用多重选择器查找具有属性匹配的元素，例如：

$("[url=" + pathname + "], [alturl=" + pathname + "]")

Answer 2

How would I phrase this in XPath syntax so I don't have to use an if/else statement? (Eg, find all attributes where url=pathname OR alturl = pathname.)

This XPath expression :

*[@url='someString' or @alturl='someString']

selects all elements that are children of the current node and have an attribute url with value 'someString' or (non-exclusive) have an attribute alturl with value 'someString' .

Answer 3

I now want to find whether this variable exists in one of two element attributes

This is exactly the behavior of node set comparison:

*[(@url|@alturl)='someString']
