 right-block-container

$("[class*=block-container]")

Answer 2

You're so close! This is what you want, the *= selector. http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

Like this:

$('*[class*=block-container]').fadeOut();

I tested it on a page that has . And then did: $('[class=opmen]').fadeOut();

And it faded out the topmenu div.
