Jquery find within an array of elements
<p>I have selected a bunch of li elements that meet a certain criteria like so:</p>

<pre><code>var x = $('li[attribute="value"]');
</code></pre>

<p>Now rather than searching the dom again, I want to search x for an li tag that has a specific id. I could use a .each to search x but was wondering if there was a one line statement I could use.</p>

<p>something like this:</p>

<pre><code>var myLi = x.find("[id=23]");
</code></pre>

<p>or is it faster to search the dom using the id tag. What if I wanted to search on a second attribute?</p>

<p>Please advise.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<h1>Edit</h1>

<p>Please note that I want to change the properties of myLi (say make its background color red) so I need a ref to the element. thanks.</p>
