Attribute contains selector [name*=”value”]

Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value containing a given substring.

This is the most generous of the jQuery attribute selectors that match against a value. It will select an element if the selector's string appears anywhere within the element's attribute value. Compare this selector with the Attribute Contains Word selector (e.g. [attr~="word"]), which is more appropriate in many cases.

jQuery( "[attribute*='value']" )

version added: 1.0

Examples:

Finds all inputs with a name attribute that contains 'man' and sets the value with some text.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>attributeContains demo</title>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 
<input name="man-news">
<input name="milkman">
<input name="letterman2">
<input name="newmilk">
 
<script>
$( "input[name*='man']" ).val( "has man in it!" );
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
