Any chance of doing what you need to do on the server, rather than the client?
Are you stuck with the naming convention you're using, or can you name the spans a little differently or give them different class names to allow for better selection criteria? Given your current situation you'd have to loop through each span as Aquaone said, but I bet you might be able to think of a different way to approach the problem. -- Josh -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Namir Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 2:33 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: jQuery select where attribute ID less than Still how would I do it with an each? I'd still need to select all the ones with an attribute of less than x, and it would be stupid to loop it from 1 to whatever as x can reach thousands. Do you have any other suggestions as to how I could do this? On Aug 31, 9:58 pm, aquaone <aqua...@gmail.com> wrote: > id will be a string.
