jQuery selector for name attribute?

Question

Well, by assigning events or putting values or whatever we want to do to certain elements..

For ID we use:

$("#id").addClass("something");

For Class we use:

$(".class").addClass("something");

What about for Name?

Any help would be appreciated.

Can't find any certain solutions for this or I just didn't know the right words to search for haha.

Also have a look at the jQuery documentation: api.jquery.com/category/selectors. — Felix Kling

You use the generic selector for an attribute:

$("[name='xxx']")
