Wildcard search of an elements id using jQuery

Question

I have the following:

if($(\"div[id*=\'*test-*-0-value\']\").length > 0){
    // do stuff
}

Unfortunatly the wild card *test-*-0-v

Answer 1

You can combine the attribute selectors, which are also natively supported in CSS:

• [id*='...'] - The id must contains ....
• [id$='...'] - The id must end with ....

Code:

if ($("div[id*='test-'][id$='-0-value']").length) {
    // do stuff
}
