Accepted Answer

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.
