I have the following HTML generated by an ASP.NET repeater:
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="ItemId" id="ItemId" value="3" /></td>
<td>Terry</td>
<td>Deleted</td>
<td>Low</td>
<td>Jun 21</td>
</tr>
<!-- rows repeat -->
</table>
How do I select a particular hidden field by value, so that I can then manipulate the columns next to it?
Using jQuery Selectors, you can target your element by a certain attribute matching the desired value:
$('input[value="Whatever"]');
This way you are targeting an input
element, by the attribute value
that is equal to the desired value.
EDIT 5/14/2013: According to an answer below, this no longer works as of jQuery 1.9.
Note: Since jQuery 1.9 the input[value="banana"] selector is no longer valid, because 'value' of the input is technically not an attribute. You need to use the (far more difficult to read) .filter
E.g.
$("input").filter(function () {
return this.value === "banana";
});

$('input:hidden[value=\'3\']');
