jquery-find-by-name

jquery-find-by-name provides a less bug-prone way to find elements by their name attribute. In particular, when the name attribute is stored in a variable it is very bug-prone to write a selector for it by hand every time.

How to Use

$('.my-element').findByName('age');

And especially:

$.each(fields, function(i, field) {
  $('.my-element').findByName(name);
});

Requirements

You need jQuery, of course. jquery-find-by-name is actively supported with jQuery 1.9 and 2.0 but should work fine with older versions.
