Hi folks, I've tried to use the filter function in the past, but have never been successful. Usually, I just figure out another better way to do what I wanted (meaning that filter was probably the wrong choice to begin with), but now I've got a case where I think filter would work fine, but I'm still struggling with a couple of things.
1. do I need to use filter(expression) or filter(filter)? 2. what should my expression or filter look like? Okay, so here's the situation I find myself in: I've got a page with several select boxes and there are two radio buttons associated with each one. I need to gather all the select boxes and then for each one I want to select the associated radio button which is checked. I could just get both of the associated radio buttons, but I figure that a filter should be able to weed out the ones that are not checked. Right? Here's what I've got so far: $("select").each(function(){ var $thisElement = $(this)[0]; var id = $.ListLast($thisElement, "_"); // for each select element get the corresponding checked sortdirection radio button $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]" + id + "]").filter(function(){ // I'm just not sure what to put here... maybe something like: $(this).attr("checked"); }); }); As you can see I'm leaning toward the idea that I think I need a filter(filter) instead of a filter(expression). I'm just not sure what my filter or expression should be or even which one is indeed right. I would appreciate any help I could get.
