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

Try the jQuery starts-with

selector, '^=', eg

[id^="jander"]

I have to ask though, why don't you want to do this using classes?
