You also can use the jQuery "Attribute Contains Selector" (here is the url http://api.jquery.com/attribute-contains-selector/)

For example If you have a

and you want to do something on its object you can select it with

jQuery('input[id*="quantity"]')

and if you want to print its value you can do this

alert(jQuery('input[id*="quantity"]').val());

In order to know the real html tag of the element you can always look at the real html element (in this case spinner was translated into input) using firebug or ie developer tools or view source...
