I'm trying to use a wildcard to get the id of all the elements whose id begin with "jander". I tried $('#jander*'), $('#jander%') but it doesn't work..
I know I can use classes of the elements to solve it, but it is also possible using wildcards??
<script type="text/javascript">
var prueba = [];
$('#jander').each(function () {
prueba.push($(this).attr('id'));
});
alert(prueba);
});
</script>
<div id="jander1"></div>
<div id="jander2"></div>
To get all the elements starting with "jander" you should use:
$("[id^=jander]")
To get those that end with "jander"
$("[id$=jander]")
See also the JQuery documentation
Since the title suggests wildcard you could also use this:
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log($('[id*=ander]'));
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="jander1"></div>
<div id="jander2"></div>This will select the given string anywhere in the id.
Try the jQuery starts-with
selector, '^=', eg
[id^="jander"]
I have to ask though, why don't you want to do this using classes?
