This might help:
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'del']").id("del*"+pb+"*"+iA+"*ck");
It selects any <a> element whose "id" attribute begins with "del"[1]

Hello folks,
Can wildcards be used in the following context...
I change the ID of an "a" tag surrounding an icon (that when clicked
triggers a delete function) from its original setting of "del" to a string
containing info (pb, iA) about the item (to be deleted) by:
$("#del").id("del*"+pb+"*"+iA+"*ck");
This only "works" for the first iteration. If I subsequently select
another item to be deleted, the ID of the "a" tag is no longer just "del"
and so obviously the ID of the a tag won't be changed because it cannot be
found. Is there a way that I can use some type of wildcard to find an
element (and in this case there will only ever be a single element) whose id
begins with "del"... eg.
$("#del??).id("del*"+pb+"*"+iA+"*ck");
so that I can subsequently change its ID to reflect the item I am wanting
to delete?
Thanks,
Bruce
