Obtain data from dynamically incremented IDs in JQuery

Question

Hello, I have a quick question about JQuery. I have dynamically generated paragraphs with id's that are incremented. I would like to take information from that page and bring it to my main page. Unfortunately I am unable to read the dynamically generated paragraph IDs to get the values. I am trying this:

var Name = ((data).find("#Name" + id).text());

The ASP.NET code goes like this:

Dim intI As Integer = 0 

For Each Item As cItem in alProducts1 Dim pName As New System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("p") pName.id = "Name" & intI.toString() pName.InnerText = Item.Name controls.Add(pName) intI += 1 Next

Those name values are the values I want...Name1, name2, name3 and I want to get them individually to put in their own textbox... I'm taking the values from the ASP.NET webpage and putting them into an AJAX page.

Your question is not clear about your exact requirement but you can get the IDs of elements with attr method of jQuery, here is an example:

alert($('selector').attr('id'));

Answer 2

You want to select all the elements with the incrementing ids, right?

// this will select all the elements
// which id starts with 'Name'
(data).find("[id^=Name]")

Thanks for the help everyone. I found the solution today however:

var Name = ($(data).find('#Name' + id.toString()).text());

I forgot the .toString() part and that seems to have made the difference.
