Question

How can i populate multiple id tags simultaneously.

On my page i have id tags starting with “total_” phrase, like total_1, total_2 etc., is there a way by which i can populate each of them on a single click in javascript.

Should i use regex or parser.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

for(var i=1; true; i++){
  var elm = document.getElementById("total_"+i);
  if(elm == undefined){
    break;
  }
  elm.innerHTML = "Some text here";
}

Using jQuery you can do the following:

$("div[id^='total_']").html("Some text Here");
