Wildcards in jQuery selectors
To get all the elements starting with "jander" you should use:
$("[id^=jander]")
To get those that end with "jander"
$("[id$=jander]")
See also the JQuery documentation
for classes you can use:
div[class^="jander"]
Try the jQuery starts-with
selector, '^=', eg
[id^="jander"]
I have to ask though, why don't you want to do this using classes?
Since the title suggests wildcard you could also use this:
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log($('[id*=ander]'));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="jander1"></div>
<div id="jander2"></div>
This will select the given string anywhere in the id
.
