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 doesn't work..
I know I can use classes of the elements to solve it, but it is also possible using wildcards??
<script type="text/javascript"> var prueba = []; $('#jander').each(function () { prueba.push($(this).attr('id')); }); alert(prueba); }); </script> <div id="jander1"></div> <div id="jander2"></div>

For getting the id that begins or ends with a particular string in jQuery selectors, you shouldn't use the wildcards $('#name*'), $('#name%'). Instead use the characters ^and $. The ^ is used is used to get all elements starting with a particular string.
Wildcards are symbols that enable you to replace zero or multiple characters in a string. These can be quite useful when dealing with dynamically-changing attributes in a selector.
To get all the elements starting with "jander" you should use:
$("[id^=jander]") To get those that end with "jander"
$("[id$=jander]") See also the JQuery documentation
