Getting element by jquery attribute

is there a way to get an element on the page by attribute

so let's say I have this HTML

<ul id="tabMenu">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home-loans">Home Loan</a></li>
  <li><a href="#savings">Savings</a></li>
  <li><a href="#car-loan">Car Loan</a></li>
  <li><a href="#credit-card">Credit Card</a></li>
</ul>

<div data-alias="#credit-card" class="tabContent">Content 1...</div>
<div data-alias="#savings" class="tabContent">Content 2...</div>
<div data-alias="#car-loan" class="tabContent">Content 3...</div>
<div data-alias="#credit-card" class="tabContent">Content 4...</div>

      

        
        
        
      

    

and this jQuery

jQuery("#tabMenu li").each(function() {

tabid = jQuery(this).find("a").attr("href");

    if (jQuery(".tabContent").attr("data-alias") == tabid) {

       $tabHTML = //get div element that is for this tab
    }

});

      

        
        
        
      

    

as you can see from the comment in the code, I'm not sure how to get the item. so for example for li with href # car-loan get div with data alias # car-loan

thank
