There are a few ways to select an HTML element that has a data-name attribute. Here are a few methods:

Using CSS

You can use the data-name attribute as a selector in CSS. For example, the following CSS will select all elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name":

CSS

[data-name="my-name"] {
  /* Style the elements */
}

Using JavaScript

You can also use JavaScript to select elements with the data-name attribute. The following JavaScript code will select all elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name":

JavaScript

var elements = document.querySelectorAll("[data-name='my-name']");

The elements variable will contain an array of all the elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name".

Using the jQuery library

You can also use the jQuery library to select elements with the data-name attribute. The following jQuery code will select all elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name":

JavaScript

var elements = $("[data-name='my-name']");

The elements variable will contain an array of all the elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name".

Here is an example of how to use this code:

HTML

<html>
<body>

<div data-name="my-name">This is a div with the data-name attribute of "my-name"</div>
<div data-name="other-name">This is a div with the data-name attribute of "other-name"</div>

<script>
// Select the elements with the data-name attribute of "my-name"
var elements = $("[data-name='my-name']");

// Loop through the elements
elements.each(function(index, element) {
  // Do something with the element
  console.log(element);
});
</script>

</body>
</html>

This code will create two div elements, one with the data-name attribute of "my-name" and one with the data-name attribute of "other-name". The each() method will loop through the elements and print the element to the console.
