For whatever reason I have these classes called .main_sub1 , .main_sub2 etc. Never mind why I can't have .main .sub .
Is there a way with JQuery, sort of in the way it is possible to do with attributes, to get the classes containing main ?

Using $("[class^=main]") will select all elements whose classname starts with 'main'. Take a look at http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/, there are a lot of other variations you can use, for example:
ReplyDelete[class*=main] will select elements whose classname contains 'main'
[class~=main] will select elements whose classname has the word 'main' (delimited with spaces)
[class$=main] will select elements whose classname ends in 'main'
Etc.
Yes, you can use an attribute selector to match certain values for the class attribute.
ReplyDelete$('[class^=main]') // class begins with "main"
$('[class*=main]') // class contains "main" anywhere within it
In this instance, I would just treat the class attribute in the same way as you do a standard attribute.
ReplyDelete$("[class*=main]")
JQuery has support for wildcards.
