jQuery: If this HREF contains

Question

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

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


        

Answer 1

It doesn't work because it's syntactically nonsensical. You simply can't do that in JavaScript like that.

You can, however, use jQuery:

  if ($(this).is('[href$=?]'))

You can also just look at the "href" value:

  if (/\?$/.test(this.href))
