I have an input with the name attribute:
<input type="text" name="data[foo][bar]" />
how can I select this element?
I tried $("input[name=data[foo][bar]]") but in vein.

Add quotes to the attribute value, otherwise you get conflicting square brackets and a parse error:
$("input[name='data[foo][bar]']")
$("input[name='data[foo][bar]']")

$('input[name="data[foo][bar]"]')

Use
$("input[name=data\\[foo\\]\\[bar\\]]")
The documentation says:
If you wish to use any of the meta-characters ( such as !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[]^`{|}~ ) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes: \. For example, if you have an element with id="foo.bar", you can use the selector $("#foo\.bar").
