Thanks for your help Jörn, that's solved that part of my equation. I'm stuck again! I would like to find out how to get the value of an id that ends in "_replace"
So for instance, I have the following line that looks for a input tag with the type of submit, that has an id ending with "_replace". (It can have anything before that). So, for EG: <input type="submit" id="sendButton_replace" value="Send"/> I then want to get the entire content of the id and store it into a variable. I would also like to get the text in the Value and store it as another variable. I currently have: $(document).ready(function(){ $(":submit[id$='_replace']"); var replaceID = $(":submit[id$='_replace']").val; alert (replaceID); return false; }); On 26/03/2008, Jörn Zaefferer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Paul Collins schrieb: > > > Hi all, > > > > As a follow up to this, I've decided to try and rewrite the image > > replace script with JQuery, so I can re-use it. > > > > The one thing I can't seem to find any info on at the moment is doing > > a search for only part of an ID. > > > > So in this instance, I would like to search for all submit input tags > > in a form that have an ID ending in "_replace".
