jquery filter: get the first match only?

Question

I want to find a match in the link's url and then do something about that link, such as changing it colour, etc. ``` $("a").filter("[href*='id=10']").css({color: 'red'}); ``` html, ``` 0 1 2 3 11 ``` But I have two matches in the links list and I just want the first match. What should I add to the jquery code? jsfiddle

Accepted Answer

Try this :

```
$("a").filter("[href*='id=10']").first().css({color: 'red'});
```

And if you want, you can also do that :

```
$("a[href*='id=10']").first().css({color: 'red'});
```
