Sheesh, James. I was actually trying to help by offering both a
correction and a link to John Resig's plugin (which *is* necessary if
you want to use the xpath syntax).
Anyway, here is how you can select elements that have a particular
attribute value:
$('sample[name=a]')

http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeEquals#attributevalue
Responding to my response with something a little less snotty would
have been nice.

Responding with something we can use (without having to install an
unnecessary plugin) would have been beneficial.

in jquery how can i automatically find the element sample with
attribute name equals to a without looping entirely the xml
jQuery supports a kind of XPath syntax, so:
$("/list/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'a']")
The "/" is no longer available and the "@" is deprecated. There is a
basic xpath plugin available if you still want to use these
selectors:
