Question

I have the following:

if($("div[id*='*test-*-0-value']").length > 0){
    // do stuff
}

Unfortunatly the wild card *test-*-0-value isn’t working. What’s the best way to do a search so that i can test for any ID value that has *test-*-0-value

Answer 1

You can combine the attribute selectors, which are also natively supported in CSS:

• [id*='...'] – The id must contains ....
• [id$='...'] – The id must end with ....

Code:

if ($("div[id*='test-'][id$='-0-value']").length) {
    // do stuff
}
