How to find all input elements with a given prefix within a div?

Question

I have a div with id ="propertiesDiv". It has certain input elements. All of them are text fields. Some of them have names like propertyName1, propertyName2 etc. I need to get all such inputs with names starting from "propertyName".

Below is code I have written so far but it gets me all inputs within that div.

$('#propertiesDiv').find('input').each(function(index, element){
    var name = element.name;
});

Please help

Answer 1

You're loking for jQuery's starts with selector (docs)

$('#propertiesDiv').find("input[name^='propertyName']")

You can do like this

$( 'input[name^="propertyName"]' , $('#propertiesDiv'))
