Per the jQuery documentation  try this      input inputName       someValue       EDIT  However  I m not sure that s the right syntax for your selector  You probably want      input name  inputName     value  someValue

If the selector is contained within a variable  the code below may be helpful   selector name    this attr  name      selector name   users 0  first name   escaped selector name   selector name replace               g     1      escaped selector name   users   0      first   name      In this case we prefix all special characters with double backslash

You can use backslash to quote  funny  characters in your jQuery selectors       input   23        For attribute values  you can use quotes      input name  weirdName 23        Now  I m a little confused by your example  what exactly does your HTML look like   Where does the string  inputName  show up  in particular   edit fixed bogosity  thanks  Dancrumb

The attribute selector syntax is  name value  where name is the attribute name and value is the attribute value   So if you want to select all input elements with the attribute name having the value inputName        input name  inputName         And if you want to check for two attributes  here  name and value       input name  inputName     value someValue
