Question

I have a set of the span tags like .

 <span id="q_1" >D1</span>
 <span id="q_2" >D2</span>
 <span id="q_3" >D3</span>

How can i get the ids of the span tags with the help of the jquery.The numbers 1,2,3 are generated run time.so the basic structure that i have is

<span id="q_" ></span>

Answer 1

I have a feeling you’re actually asking how to select all elements that have an id that starts with “q_”. If so, the simplest way to do so is like this:

var qSpans = $('span[id^="q_"]');
