Wildcards in jQuery selectors

Question

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 doe

Answer 1

When you have a more complex id string the double quotes are mandatory.

For example if you have an id like this: id="2.2", the correct way to access it is: $('input[id="2.2"]')

As much as possible use the double quotes, for safety reasons.
