Description

Hi

I'm selecting all id's names that starts with "ct" and ends with divDropDown.

This is the whole id name: "ctl00_mainContent_ReportViewer2_ctl04_ctl07_divDropDown"

That's how I find my ID:

<script type="text/jscript">$("[id^=ct]").filter("[id$=divDropDown]").css("color", "black");</script>

It work in IE,Chrome, Safari but not on firefox 4, (didn't test it on firefox 3)

Thanks

_comment0: The reason your code wasn't working is because the selector you're attempting to query with is searching for an ID equal to 'ct' rather than an id beginning with 'ct'. What you want to be doing instead is using ^= to query for this collection. I've put you together a live demo of this working which functions fine in both Chrome latest and Firefox 4.1302097336182964
