[jquery] jQuery find element by data attribute value

I have a few elements like below:

<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="0">1</a>
<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="1">2</a>
<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="2">3</a>

How can I add a class to the element which has a data-slide attribute value of 0 (zero)?

I have tried many different solutions but nothing worked. An example:

$('.slide-link').find('[data-slide="0"]').addClass('active');

Any idea?

This question is related to jquery html css custom-data-attribute

The answer is


Use Attribute Equals Selector

$('.slide-link[data-slide="0"]').addClass('active');

Fiddle Demo

.find()

it works down the tree

Get the descendants of each element in the current set of matched elements, filtered by a selector, jQuery object, or element.


you can also use andSelf() method to get wrapper DOM contain then find() can be work around as your idea

$(function() {_x000D_
  $('.slide-link').andSelf().find('[data-slide="0"]').addClass('active');_x000D_
})
_x000D_
.active {_x000D_
  background: green;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="0">1</a>_x000D_
<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="1">2</a>_x000D_
<a class="slide-link" href="#" data-slide="2">3</a>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


I searched for a the same solution with a variable instead of the String.
I hope i can help someone with my solution :)

var numb = "3";
$(`#myid[data-tab-id=${numb}]`);

You can also use .filter()

$('.slide-link').filter('[data-slide="0"]').addClass('active');
