It looks to me like it's using jQuery specific functions. It could be done with a simpler selector engine, but in this case, it looks pretty clear that it's either jQuery or a compatible library like Zepto.
It's CSS selectors and then wrapping the DOM element again in a function to give it an `attr` method, which is jQuery style. Other libraries may use that syntax too, but I'm pretty sure it started with jQuery (and if not, was certainly popularized by it).
