Question

My problem is quite simple.
In my php page I generate as many divs as necessary through a “while” statement
Each div has got an ID which changes this way: id='ref".$i"' (Every time the While statement starts again to proceed, $i increases by 1, I mean $i++
Now I need to select all these divs in my JQUERY file

Answer 1

Use the “starts with” ^= selector wildcard

$('[id^="ref"]')
// or
$('div[id^="ref"]') // if you want to be more specific

Once you have this Collection, if you want each value you can just loop through them with jQuery’s .each():

var valueArray = [];

$('div[id^="ref"]').each(function () {
    valueArray.push( $(this).text() ); // storing them all here
});

console.log( valueArray ); // all your values
