Jquery select all elements containing text in ID

Question

I have the following code:

 var aggrHTML = $('TBODY#aggr > tr > td > table > tbody > tr > td > nobr > b');
           var aggrText = aggrHTML.text();
           var newText = "Total" + aggrText.substring(3);
           aggrHTML.html(newText);

What I would like to do is alter the above so I select all elements whose id contain 'aggr'.

Many Thanks, Nav

Answer 1

var aggrHTML = $('TBODY[id*=aggr] > tr > td > table > tbody > tr > td > nobr > b');
           var aggrText = aggrHTML.text();
           var newText = "Total" + aggrText.substring(3);
           aggrHTML.html(newText);

Answer 2

Simplest way to achieve that is

var aggrHTML = $("[id*=aggr]");
var aggrText = aggrHTML.text();
           var newText = "Total" + aggrText.substring(3);
           aggrHTML.html(newText);

If by "all elements" you mean all DOM elements of course.
