jquery get only all html elements with ids

Question

I have a div with many many html elements like other divs, trs, tds, tables etc

Is it possible to get all the elements which have an id? I know asking $("#test") will give me the specific element with this id

but is it possible to get find("#") or something like this?!

Answer 1

$('[id]') returns all elements that have id set

Answer 2

You can use the following syntax to limit the results:

$('input[id*=test_id]').live('click', callbackFunc());

or

$('.elements_set[id*=test_id]').live('click', callbackFunc());

or in same manner

$('input[name*=test_id]').live('click', callbackFunc());

These are called Attribute Selectors

Reference links:

• Attribute Contains Selector [name*="value"]
• Attribute Contains Word Selector [name~="value"]
• Attribute Ends With Selector [name$="value"]
• Attribute Not Equal Selector [name!="value"]
• Attribute Starts With Selector [name^="value"]
