public class ByJQuerySelector extends By {
 
        private final String jQuerySelector;
 
        public ByJQuerySelector(String selector) {
          this.jQuerySelector = selector;
        }
 
        @Override
        public List findElements(SearchContext context) {
          //TODO:Implement
          return null;
        }
 
        @Override
        public WebElement findElement(SearchContext context) {
          return (RemoteWebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) context)
              .executeScript("return $('" + jQuerySelector+ "').get(0);");
        }
 
        @Override
        public String toString() {
          return "By.jQuerySelector: " + jQuerySelector;
        }
 
}
Now you can select a WebElement with a JQuery selector.

@Test
public void example6(){
    driver.get("http://www.o2.co.uk/broadband");
 
    //Now I can use JQuery selectors to find elements on the page!
    By loc = new ByJQuerySelector("a[title=Sign In]");
 
    driver.findElement(loc).click();
 
    assertEquals("O2 - Sign in - View bills , balances and emails in your My O2 account:",driver.getTitle());
}
