Hey Steve,
I think regex is possible in the selector so using \\S* as your wildcard..
$('#contact_\\S*').each();
Sorry haven't tested the above - but hope it helps you out.

Subject: [jQuery] trying to act on certain DIV's and not others
Hi folks,
apologies if this is a completely noob question. I wish to close
(hide) and number of <div>'s whilst leaving others open. I considered the
possibility that it might be feasible in Jquery to act on div's with a
certain pattern in the id name. Not sure if this is true tho; for example
<div id-="contact_blah">
<div id="contact_yak">
<div id="nothanks">
so that the first two div's would be subject to being hidden, and the third
left alone.
I wish essentially to have a series of links toggle the visibility of some
div's, but when a link is clicked and a div is unhidden, - all other divs to
hide.
Any ideas?
best wishes and thanks
Steve / Nibb
