# Attribute Contains Selector [name*="value"]

## attributeContains ( attribute, value ) version added: 1.0

- attribute
  Type: String
  An attribute name.

- value
  Type: String
  An attribute value. Can be either an unquoted single word or a quoted string.

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

## Examples:

#### Example: 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>css demo</title>

      <script src="//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>
