Question

I have form elements like this:

<input type='text' id='person_1_name'>
<input type='text' id='person_2_name'>
<input type='text' id='person_3_name'>
<input type='text' id='person_4_name'>
<input type='text' id='person_5_name'>
..
..
..

I can select single element like this:

$("#person_1_name").focusout( function() {

   alert("Hello World");

});

Is there any selector that select all elements(person_<*>_name) like this without describing them separately ?

Thanks

Answer 1

this is not the right way .

you should add Class to each of the elements and then select it by :

$(".MyClass")...

but if you insist :

  $('div') .filter(function() { return this.id.match(/person\_[0-9]\_name/); }) .css('border','solid 1px red')
