Thanks a ton. Although I had another way to do it like:
if($(imgID).attr(src).indexOf(expand) = 0)
but using the way you mentioned is more accurate and specific to
JQuery. Thanks once again.

contains is a pseudo-selector, but not a method. So you can use it like
this:
html before:
pthe quick brown/p
pfox jumped over/p
pthe lazy dog/p
script:
$(p:contains('the')).remove();
html after:
pfox jumped over/p
That doesn't really help in the scenario you've posed because contains
searches the text of the element
(seehttp://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/contains#text). What you want is the
attributeContains attribute selector. See:
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors
Under Attribute Filters there is
[attribute*=value]
Matches elements that have the specified attribute and it contains a certain
value.http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeContains#attributevalue
So in your example that would be
if ( $(#myimg[src*='expand']).length )
// do something
else
// do something else

I have an image tag as
img id=myimg src=images/expand.jpg /
I am trying as
if($(#myimg).attr(src).contains(expand))
// do something
else
//do something else
but it gives an error Object doesn't support this property of
method. Please help.
