Just use an attribute selector. For example:
$('input[name=firstName]')

In JQuery I saw you can get attributes by saying
foo.attr("value"), super handy.
Is there anyway to get the element of the thing that contains the
attribute?
Reasoning: I've got a few hidden inputs that have
name="firstName" value="Bob"
name="lastName" value="Bobble"
So I would want to say get the element whose attr "name" equals
"firstName". So then I can go back into the element and retrieve the
value associated with it: "Bob"
Thanks
