For whatever reason I have these classes called .main_sub1, .main_sub2 etc. Never mind why I can’t have .main .sub.
Is there a way with jQuery, sort of in the way it is possible to do with attributes, to get the classes containing main?
Using
$("[class^=main]")will select all elements whose classname starts with ‘main’. Take a look at jQuery docs about selectors, there are a lot of other variations you can use, for example:[class*=main]will select elements whose classname contains ‘main’[class~=main]will select elements whose classname has the word ‘main’ (delimited with spaces)[class$=main]will select elements whose classname ends in ‘main’
