jQuery: select all inputs with unique id (Regex/Wildcard Selectors)
jquery, jquery-selectors, regex, wildcard
Solution
I don't know if I can guarantee "in order", but this elector should work:
`$(this).find('input[id^=textFinalDeadline_]').val(formatDate);`
Even then, jQuery is optimized to handle `id`s in a special way, and may only process 1 id.
A better way would be to have these textfields use a class (perhaps `date`) so you could just use the `'.date'` selector.
Problem
I have some textboxes on a webform that have ids like this: ``` txtFinalDeadline_1 txtFinalDeadline_2 txtFinalDeadline_3 txtFinalDeadline_4 ``` In my jQuery how do I find all of those in order to assign a value to them. Before I had the underscore and they were all named txtFinalDeadline I could do this and it worked. ``` $(this).find("#txtFinalDeadline").val(formatDate); ``` However, that was when they were all named the same thing. Now I have the _x after the name and I'm not sure how to go about assigning that same value as before to them.
