Question

Like

    <div id="box_1">
    <div id="box_2">
    <div id="box_3">

If i want to get all id’s starting with ‘box_’ how can i do it something like this..

    $("#box_" + anything )

Unfortunately wrapping the div’s won’t work because it will get all the other divs in side and between the box divs.

I guess i can give them all another class and reference it like that, but just wondering if there’s something like this out there.. thanks.

You can use an Attribute Starts With selector:

$("div[id^=box_]");
