can we set attribute with `name `other than `class` or `id`

Question

First of all the question will be simple to you but i have a doubt that whether can we use name value instead of id or class like this

var name_type=$('.abc_type').attr('name','type');

i just tried like this but of no use

var name_type=$('input[name=type]').attr('name','type');

As I understand, you want to add a "name=type" to the ".abc_type" classed element? — DiabloSteve, Feb 20 '18 at 07:35
"but of no use": of course it isn't you're setting the `name` attribute to value `"type"` on input elements which have a `name` attribute with value `"type"`. — Richard, Feb 20 '18 at 07:35
Does your code can select the '.abc_type'? I tried this, and my js can modified name to type. — DiabloSteve, Feb 20 '18 at 07:38
wich out put you get when do this `console.log(name_type)` after setting the value? — Oscar, Feb 20 '18 at 07:42
that mean you have 3 element with that name. You can get it in loop or like this: `console.log(name_type[0].value)` — Oscar, Feb 20 '18 at 07:50
@Oscar yes that's the thing and 3 element is of select box and the corresponding selected value should be present — user_777, Feb 20 '18 at 07:56
So one of them has the property selected. do you mean something like this in the condition? `name_type[index].find(":selected")` — Oscar, Feb 20 '18 at 08:07

You can unse any of this attribute selectors in Jquery: https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/ Find which you want to use and then, is the same as get it by .class or #id

Consider the lenght of the element, because return every element wich has the selector condition.

Use your selector: var name_type=$('input[name=type]').attr('name','type');

Then iterate over that:

$.each(name_type, function(index, value){
  console.log("Index: "index + ", Value: "+value);
  if(name_type[index].value == "I want this"){
    //do something or terurn whatever
  }
})

Hope helps

if multiple input fields have same name then how can we fetch the correct value,actually i was stuck in there so i chooses this way but unfortunately using `class` and `id` always getting same value – user_777 Feb 20 '18 at 07:53
can you edit your question and add that casuistics? About your first question, if you iterate over the elements, you can check all the info them... so wich has the the correct value 4u? wich one who the user selected? why you dont identify your inputs with unique `id`? – Oscar Feb 20 '18 at 08:22
