I was wondering whether this can be used to find “backgroundImage”‘s url’s…

For example I have div#header with css element backgroundImage = images/backgrounds/background_1.jpg

What I need is to find out the current image, if its 1,2,3 or etc… and then change to a different one if thats the case, like increment the number or alternate between 1 and 2.

I am using this great jquery extension and I love how it works, but I think I have found a bug in it and I’m not sure how or why it happens.

On my site, I have this extension, and it works great, but when I leave the site open for a long time in IE8, it throws a js error that says this “‘3’ is null or not an object” on line 2 of the extension.

I can consistently reproduce this error, but I don’t know much about it. I’m not sure how long the page has to be open for or what causes it to happen, but I do need a fix for it. Basically, as I work, I just leave IE8 open in the background on my website until the js error is thrown.

Does this script constantly run even when the page isn’t doing anything? Any ideas?

Great code, Hate to nit-pick, but wouldn’t your second usage example select all items between 100 and 399? not 100-300.

I find this very useful. Especially the ability to query CSS.

Is it also possible to find elements by its text content?

Like instead of a filter function like this:

$("a").filter(function(){
  return $(this).text().match(/something/);
})
