jQuery – Get All Divs Whose ID Starts With

Structure:

1
2
3
4
<div id="thisismydiv1"></div>
<div id="thisismydiv2"></div>
<div id="thisismydiv3"></div>
<div id="thisismydiv4"></div>

To return an array of all divs that start with ‘thisismydiv’, you would use the following:

1
var divList = $("div[id^='thisismydiv']");

The above translates to, find me all divs whose id starts with ‘thisismydiv’. You could now do something cool like add a class to all those divs:

1
$("div[id^='thisismydiv']").addClass('myClass');
