I have some textboxes on a webform that have ids like this:

txtFinalDeadline_1
txtFinalDeadline_2
txtFinalDeadline_3
txtFinalDeadline_4

In my jQuery how do I find all of those in order to assign a value to them. Before I had the underscore and they were all named txtFinalDeadline I could do this and it worked.

$(this).find("#txtFinalDeadline").val(formatDate);

However, that was when they were all named the same thing. Now I have the _x after the name and I’m not sure how to go about assigning that same value as before to them.

    I don’t know if I can guarantee “in order”, but this elector should work:

    $(this).find('input[id^=textFinalDeadline_]').val(formatDate);

    Even then, jQuery is optimized to handle ids in a special way, and may only process 1 id.

    A better way would be to have these textfields use a class (perhaps date) so you could just use the '.date' selector.
