You can still use each:
$("div").each(function() { if( /^col_[0-9]/.test(this.id) { // do something } }); Otherwise, try to use classes instead of complicated IDs: <div class="col 123">. That makes it much easier to select them. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
