Question

I have a question regarding grabbing content from an e-mail form before/while it submits.

I am using the code

        <script>
            $('#nm_mc_form_id-1352905826').submit(function(e){
                // Grab the email address from the form
                var email = $('#EMAIL-1352905826').val();
            });
        </script>

As you can see the from id and the email id are dynamic. Is there any way to grab the ID’s based on their prefix?

I did see in another SO (yes I have looked around ;)) something along the lines of:

$('#id').find('p')

Just not sure how that works or if it’s what I need?

I am one of those guys who likes to learn so please provide a little insight as to what your recommendation is.

Cheers!

Answer 1

Use wild card ^ is used for element starting with given string.

$('[id^=nm_mc_form_id-]').submit(function(e){
            // Grab the email address from the form
            var email = $(this).val();
});
