Wildcards in jQuery selectors

Question

I\'m trying to use a wildcard to get the id of all the elements whose id begin with \"jander\". I tried $(\'#jander*\'), $(\'#jander%\') but it doe

Answer 1

To get all the elements starting with "jander" you should use:

$("[id^=jander]")

To get those that end with "jander"

$("[id$=jander]")
