Question

I have HTML page with following elements

<img src='some link' id='_id_portlet1_1234' > link </img>     
<img src='some link' id='_id_portlet2_4567' > link </img>

I has to select all the id elements with a pattern of _id_portlet* with dojo.query. Can you guys help in providing the dojo.query to get list of above id elements. Here the source code is generated by a template file and every time the page is rendered a random number will be appended to the id. I need to select all the elements which are following the pattern of _id_portlet*. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

The very first thing – the <img> has no closing tag, so instead of invalid

<img src="some link" id="_portlet1_1234" class="portlet"> link </img>

you should use

<img src="some link" id="_portlet1_1234" class="portlet" />

And for selecting the images try this

dojo.query('img[id^="_id_portlet"]').style("border", "5px solid red");
