jQuery: Highlight link that have the same href as another

I'm working on a project, where I want to highlight the link (in a menu) that has the same href as another link on the site (in .container).

<ul class="menu">
    <li><a href="about.html">Link 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="portfolio.html">Link 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="container">
    <a href="contact.html">Go to Contact</a>
</div>

JS:

$("a").filter(function() {
    return this.href === $('.container a').href;
}).addClass("equalHref");

Do you know how I can achiev开发者_如何学JAVAe this?

$('a:[href="' + $('.container a').attr("href") + '"]').addClass("equalHref");

Your solution is very nearly correct:

$("a").filter(function() {
    // use jQuery.attr to access href
    return this.href === $('.container a').attr("href");
}).addClass("equalHref");

or:

$("a").filter(function() {
    // expose DOM object and access href property
    return this.href === $('.container a')[0].href;
}).addClass("equalHref");

var strHref = $('.container a').attr("href");    
$("a[href=" + strHref  + "]")addClass("equalHref")
