jQuery: If this HREF contains

Question

Why can\'t I get this to work??

$(\"a\").each(function() {
    if ($(this[href$=\"?\"]).length()) {
        alert(\"Contains questionmark\");
    }
});

You could just outright select the elements of interest.

$('a[href*="?"]').each(function() {
    alert('Contains question mark');
});

Note that you were using the attribute-ends-with selector, the above code uses the attribute-contains selector, which is what it sounds like you're actually aiming for.
