jQuery selector for inputs with square brackets in the name attribute

You can use backslash to quote "funny" characters in your jQuery selectors:

$('#input\\[23\\]')

For attribute values, you can use quotes:

$('input[name="weirdName[23]"]')

Now, I'm a little confused by your example; what exactly does your HTML look like? Where does the string "inputName" show up, in particular?

edit fixed bogosity; thanks @Dancrumb

The attribute selector syntax is [name=value] where name is the attribute name and value is the attribute value.

So if you want to select all input elements with the attribute name having the value inputName[]:

$('input[name="inputName[]"]')

And if you want to check for two attributes (here: name and value):

$('input[name="inputName[]"][value=someValue]')

Per the jQuery documentation, try this:

$('input[inputName\\[\\]=someValue]')

[EDIT] However, I'm not sure that's the right syntax for your selector. You probably want:

$('input[name="inputName[]"][value="someValue"]')
