The :lang Selector is used to select all the elements which have the lang attribute with the specified value.
This attribute contains single value language_code which is used to specify the language of content. Some examples of languages are ” en” for English, “es” for Spanish etc. It takes a whole word as value such as lang=” en” or followed by a hyphen(-) like lang=” en-us”.
Syntax:
$(":lang(language)")
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src= </script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $("p:lang(en)").css( "background-color", "coral"); }); </script> </head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color:green;"> GeeksForGeeks</h1> <h2>jQuery :lang Selector </h2> <p>GeeksforGeeks</p> <p lang="en"> A computer science portal for geeks.</p> </center> </body> </html> |
