JQuery selectors don't work

Question

I have the following input on my page:

<input type="text" name="r1" />

I am trying to select it with JQuery, using $("[name='r1']") , and for some reason it returns null . Ok, fine, the title is misleading in that it is me that is doing something wrong; can you tell me what?

EDIT:

$('input[name="r1"]') doesn't work either. Also, sorry for the typo.

Working DEMO

Html Code

<input type="text" name="r1" />​

Jquery Code

$(document).ready(function() {
   alert($('input[name="r1"]').length);
});​

OLD Updates

you have typo error here you are trying to find r2 element which is not there just update code like $("[name='r1']")

or

to find it proper way you should do as below

$("input[name='r2']") instead of $("[name='r2']") only

EDIT

According to you edited question you should check example over here : Attribute Equals Selector [name="value"]

EDIT

for proper check you can do like this

$(document).ready(function() {
   alert($('input[name="r1"]').length);
});

Answer 2

Just made a quick test:

<input type="text" name="r1" />​

with the following Javascript

$('input[name=r1]').click(function(e){
  alert('found');
});​

It worked perfectly!

Answer 3

You are not telling jQuery what element you're looking for, that is you input

Try doing it this way

$('input[name=r1]')

Answer 4

I think that the selector is wrong. Should be r1 as opposed to r2 .

jsFiddle

$("[name=r1]")

Answer 5

you need to include the html tag for attribute filters.

$("input[name='r2']");

Please refer to this link for further information on attribute selectors.

Answer 6

它肯定会起作用：

$("*[name='r1']")

Answer 7

You can use both $("[name='r1']") and $('input[name="r1"]') in this scenario

Use $("[name='r1']") if you want to select any element with attribute called " name " equal to " r1 "

Use $('input[name="r1"]') if you want to select only input elements with attribute called " name " equal to " r1 "
