jQuery multi-dimensional array name selector

Question

Hi i'm trying to select a form input by name, however my form is setup to post into a multi-dimensional array

I'm trying to use

$('input[name=address[permanent][street]]')

to select the element but get the following response

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: input[name=address[permanent][street]]

Is this at all possible?

Could you provide the <form> please? In a jsfiddle perhaps. jsfiddle.net — Stefan Konno

Try use $('input[name="address[permanent][street]"]') or $('input[name="'+ index +'"]') in your loop

Sorry I should have said I'm running this through a loop and set up like $('input[name='+ index +']') which can generates $('input[name=address[permanent][street]]') or $('input[name=forenames')

try this

var strAddress=address[permanent][street];
$('input[name='+strAddress+']')

updated

$('input[name="address[permanent][street]"]')

if your name of input is address[permanent][street]
