I got divs with IDs like that:
<div id="drop_12_213_1">
<div id="drop_12_213_2">
<div id="drop_12_213_3">
<div id="drop_13_213_4">
The only thing I know is drop and the last number(e.g. 1).
How can I select it whit jQuery?
$('div[id^=drop_*_*_1]') is not working?
What am I doing wrong?
TIA frgtv10
jQuery doesn't support regular expressions as selectors by default. There are some filters that could do that.
What you can do instead is use the jQuery filter() method.
$('div').filter(function() {
return this.id.match(/^drop_\d+_\d+_1$/);
}).html("match");
This will basically check all the divs in your document and use the filter() method to see if it should match or not.
I imagine this will not be the fastest way of doing, you could try to restrict the search as much as possible (e.g. $('div', container_of_divs)), but by the looks of what you're trying to parse, it seems result is more important than speed.
As a note, your regular expression is wrong too.
drop_*_*_1 translates to something like:
drop followed by _ zero or more times, _ zero or more times, _1Which would match something like drop_1 or drop__1 or drop___..._1.
