Case insensitive jQuery attribute selector

rated 0 times [ 140] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 42778 / 11 Years ago, sat, october 19, 2013, 12:00:00

I am doing the following using attribute contains selector $('[attribute*=value]')

<input name=man-news>

<input name=milkMan>



<script>    

    $( input[name*='man']).css(background-color:black);

</script>

This works for the 1st input but not the second input as Man has a capital M

How can I make $( input[name*='man']) an case insensitive selector?

You can always use .filter():

var mans = $('input').filter(function() {

    return $(this).attr('name').toLowerCase().indexOf('man') > -1;

});



mans.css('background-color', 'black');

The key part here is toLowerCase() which lowercases the name attribute, allowing you to test it for containing man.
