Is there a wildcard selector for identifiers (id)?

Question

If I have an unknown amount of identifiers sharing a specific naming-scheme, is there a way to grab them all at once using jQuery?

// These are the IDs I\'d          


        

Answer 1

If you really want to match classes, not ids, the syntax is a bit more involved, since class can have multiple values.

// handle elements like 

$('[class^="someclass"]').click(function() {
   // do stuff
});

// handle elements like 

$('[class*=" someclass"]').click(function() {
   // do stuff
});
