jQuery select img with src

Question

I want to select an image (with jQuery) by the src attribute. The Image is inside an ul and a collection of div's. The id of the ul is "sortable". Here is my HTML: ```

``` etc. and here is my js: ``` if($('#sortable').find('img[src="/test1.jpg"]').length > 0){ alert('img exists'); }else{ alert('img doesnt exists'); } ``` My problem is, that they don't find any image. But if I write the js like this: ``` if($('img[src="/test1.jpg"]').length > 0){ alert('img exists'); }else{ alert('img doesnt exists'); } ``` so they find the image.

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure why the difference, but try using the `$=` attribute ends with selector.

Seems to work.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/bTf7K/

```
$('#sortable').find('img[src$="/test1.jpg"]')
```

EDIT: The difference may have something to do with the method of getting the attribute value that jQuery uses at different times.

Using native methods:

```
element.getAttribute("src") // returns the actual value that was set

element.src // returns the value but with the full domain path
```

So I'm guessing jQuery uses both of these at different times.
