Delete Last Char of String with Javascript

Question

I have a DIV with some characters. How can I remove the last character from the text with each click on the DIV itself?

Answer 1

Its easy by using the attribute$= CSS3 selector which means "ends with" in your jQuery selection:

To Delete 1st character:

$("div[id$=/]").each(function(){ 
    this.id = this.id.substr(1);
});

To Delete Last Character:

$("div[id$=/]").each(function(){ 
    this.id = this.id.substr(0,this.id.length - 1);
});
