jQuery / javascript find values within a list -

i have peculiar issue i'm dealing with. i'll start off vague , if needs more detail can give background on project.

i have selected id (selected checkbox): 161

and have many rows of ids so:

["161", "165", "573", "190", "150", "283"] // 1 ["160", "311", "793", "309", "301"] ["161", "165", "395", "306"] // 1 ["160", "311", "668", "191", "216", "301"] 

i need identify out of rows of ids above, ones have id has been selected. isn't difficult, can loop through each row of ids (looping through actual array) , thisidlist[i] == selectedid.

problem i'm having when more 1 id has been selected: ["161", "306"]

now need loop through rows , identify rows has both of selected ids.

["161", "165", "573", "190", "150", "283"] // wouldn't ["160", "311", "793", "309", "301"] ["161", "165", "395", "306"] // 1 ["160", "311", "668", "191", "216", "301"] 

and on. there can anywhere 1 5 or 6 ids selected: ["161", "306", "216", "668"]

can point me in right direction? think comparing 2 lists each item in list needs found in list b.

edit

i should add row can contain other ids not found in selected list. if selected ids ["161", "306"], ["161", "165", "395", "306"] match still, though contains 165 , 395.

edit

going update , give bit more info. have list of radio buttons:

<input type="checkbox" name="filter" value="301" /> <input type="checkbox" name="filter" value="161" /> <input type="checkbox" name="filter" value="573" /> <input type="checkbox" name="filter" value="190" /> 

i have unordered list, each list has data attribute (i'm using metadata plugin):

<ul>     <li data="{attrid: '160,197,161,194,195,190,162' }">lorem ipsum</li> </ul> 

when radio button clicked:

// set selected ids selectedids = [];  $("input[name=filter]:checked").each(function(){       selectedids.push(this.value); });  // loop through each list                    $('ul li').each(function () {        // , set metadata attrid key     meta = $(this).metadata();     idlist = meta.attrid;         // find out if selected ids found in idlist     var ismatch = matches(selectedids,idlist);      console.log(ismatch);      // plan     if(ismatch){         // list item     }   }); 

this uses inarray function jquery. returns array containing indices of sets contain elements of target set. if sets relatively small, in example, should fast enough.

function matches( target, sets ) {     var matches= [];     (var = 0, setslen = sets.length; < setslen; ++i ) {         if (issubset(target,sets[i])) {            matches.push(i);         }     }     return matches; }  function issubset( target, set ) {     (var j = 0, targetlen = target.length; j < targetlen; ++j) {          if ($.inarray(target[j], set) < 0) {              return false;          }     }     return true; } 

a little test script based on data:

$(function(){     var sets = [                   ["161", "165", "573", "190", "150", "283"],                   ["160", "311", "793", "309", "301"],                   ["161", "165", "395", "306"],                   ["160", "311", "668", "191", "216", "301"]     ];      alert( matches( [ "161" ], sets ) );     alert( matches( [ "161","306" ], sets ) );  }); 

edit: updated example based on additions. think you'd need use issubset function. i'll leave rest of answer context.
