Jquery: is there another way to write this, maybe using .attr?

Question

I thought I could re-write the line below:

$('a').filter('[hash=' + inview + ']');

to something like this:

$('a').attr(href, inview);

obviously with var inview = yada yada yada defined above it.

or is there another way to write the first line up there,

using jquery and getting rid of the [hash=' for something like.attr or.something(inview)?

Answer 1

$('a[hash=' + inview + ']');

That should do it.

Answer 2

You want something like:

$('a[hash="' + inview + '"]')

$('a').attr('hash', inview); , which is what I assume you meant for your second line, actually sets the hash attribute to inview.

Answer 3

$('a').attr(href, inview);

For reference that would set the href of all a elements to inview
