Getting elements by a partial id string in javascript

Question

I have the followng code:

var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName(\"input\");
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].disabled = bDisabled;         


        

Answer 1

I haven't tried this myself, but would CSS style attribute selectors?

document.getElementsByTagName('[id^=bib]');
