jQuery: Find the element with a particular custom attribute

I think what you need is:

var number = 6;
var myDiv = $('[data-divNumber="'+number+'"]');

You need to do some string addition to get the number into your selector and the value needs to be quoted.

var number = 6;
var myDiv = $('[data-divNumber="' + number + '"]');

What you're trying to produce after the string addition is this result:

$('[data-divNumber="6"]');

var number = 6;
var myDiv = $('div[data-divNumber="' + number + '"]');
