Question

For some reason this is not working, yet all my searches say it should work.

I have an id on an element where I am trying to increment the value by 1.

so let’s say I have

<input id="someText1">

I want to change the 1 to a 2, so I end up with

<input id="someText2">

I’ve tried to match just the text using

text = $("input").attr("id").match(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/);

But when I output the value of text, I get null

Please help!

Answer 1

Remove the $ sign (the text does end with a number and you’re telling it that it ends with a letter)
