The jQuery #id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to find the specific element. An id should be unique within a page, so you should use the #id selector when you want to find a single, unique element.
$() = window. jQuery() $()/jQuery() is a selector function that selects DOM elements. Most of the time you will need to start with $() function. It is advisable to use jQuery after DOM is loaded fully.
Here is a solution: You can use JQuery selector $("[id='idofelement']") to select all the elements with matching ID.
jQuery :contains() SelectorThe :contains() selector selects elements containing the specified string. The string can be contained directly in the element as text, or in a child element. This is mostly used together with another selector to select the elements containing the text in a group (like in the example above).
try:
$("td[id^=" + value + "]")
Here you go:
$('td[id^="' + value +'"]')
so if the value is for instance 'foo', then the selector will be 'td[id^="foo"]'.
Note that the quotes are mandatory: [id^="...."].
