select - D3 Equivalent to jQuery Attribute selector

Question

Does anyone know the d3 equivalent to jQuery attribute selector:

$('[attribute="name"]')

I want to be able to use d3 methods such as .transition(). Thanks!

It's the same in both D3 and jQuery; the underlying functionality is provided by the W3C Selectors API, so see the documentation on attribute selectors. For example, d3.select("[id=body]") is equivalent to d3.select("#body").
