jQuery id selector works only for the first element

Question

I have 3 buttons with same id, I need to get each button value when he\'s being clicked.

Answer 1

Although changing the id's to a class is better, you can get all the elements with the same id using the attribute equals selector:

$('[id="xyz"]')

Or this to get only buttons with id xyz:

$('button[id="xyz"]')

Or divs with id xyz:

$('div[id="xyz"]')

etc.

Alternatively you could use the "Attribute Contains Selector" to get all elements with ids that contain "xyz":

$('[id*="xyz"]')

Of course, this means all elements with id that partially contain "xyz" will get selected by this.
