Question

Need a little help with my jquery here

I want all my button with a name starting with “my-” and finishing with “-press” to have a “click” event.

<input type="button" id="my-button-x-press" name="my-button-x-name-press" />

Buttons dynamically added to DOM should have the same event.

Answer 1

http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

$('input[type=button][name^=my-][name$=-press]').click(function() {
   // code
})

To assign event to elements dynamically, use on http://api.jquery.com/on/ and supply your selector as the second argument to properly delegate event.

$('#container').on('click', 'input[type=button][name^=my-][name$=-press]', function() {
   // code
})

Assuming you are wrapping your inputs on #container, otherwise replace #container with body, but it’s always preferable to select the closest ancestor of the selector
