## attributeContains selector

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

- #### version added: 1.0jQuery( "[attribute*='value']" )

  attribute: An attribute name.

  value: An attribute value. Can be either a valid identifier or a quoted string.

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.

## Example:

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