Question

I have a submit button that has got a dynamically generated id. I want to make this button invisible once it was clicked once. At the same time another button which is invisible when the page loads will become visible instead.

But how can I reference the button I want to make invisible if the id is generated dynamically. I know the id always starts with the string ‘product_’. Can I use left/substring somehow to get control of this button? And how do I do it?

jQuery. You need to use live or delegate methods to access a dynamically generated ids

$('button[id^="product_"]').live('click', function(){alert("Hi");})
