How To Match Long ID Strings Using JQuery
erics, Posted August 19th, 2011 at 11:03:17am
Ran into an odd issue matching the id attribute in jQuery when it is extra-long.
Seems like the syntax:
jQuery('#LongIDNameGoesHere')
doesn’t match long ID’s, when the syntax:
jQuery('[id^=LongIDNameGoesHere]')
does match correctly.
Not entirely sure yet why this is, but figured it is best to document the facts as I found them…
