I want to filter based on two attributes, the first is id and the second is called level
i.e. id="someId" level="someLevel"
Shouldn't this code do the trick ... it doesn't seem to work.
$(".someClass").filter("#"+id, "[level='"+level+"']").someAction();
You are providing two arguments:
.filter("#someId", "[level='someLevel']")
You probably want this:
.filter("#someId[level=someLevel]")
what about
$(".someClass").filter("filter1").filter("filter2")
?
You can use a Multiple Attribute Selector in your filter function.
If its an or condition you should really have a helper function like string format:
string.Format = function( text )
{
//check if there are two arguments in the arguments list
if ( arguments.length <= 1 )
{
//if there are not 2 or more arguments there’s nothing to replace
//just return the original text
return text;
}
//decrement to move to the second argument in the array
var tokenCount = arguments.length - 2;
for( var token = 0; token <= tokenCount; token++ )
{
//iterate through the tokens and replace their placeholders from the original text in order
text = text.replace( new RegExp( "\\{" + token + "\\}", "gi" ),
arguments[ token + 1 ] );
}
return text;
};
and then its easy:
var filter = string.format("#{0}, [level='{1}']", id, level);
$(".someClass").filter(filter).someAction();
