Answer 1

There's no need for the : or double = in your attribute-equals selector, it should just be:

$('.selectedColumns a[attributeid=' + $(this).val() + ']');

Also if you're using invalid attributes, consider using data- attributes which are valid in HTML5, for example data-id instead of attributeid.
