I am looking for a selector for textbox elements that have this format: id = "FixedName_#" "FixedName" will always be "FixedName", but I only want to find elements where the # is positive. So I would want to find "FixedNa...

However, I do not want to disable it if an input or textarea element is focused, because I want backspace to work properly there. So, I want to select anything that is not an input or textarea. Here is the code. The prob...
I can't figure out what is going on here. I have some nested lists of checkboxes that I would like to check when the parent is checked. More importantly, I can't even get the alert to show up. It's as if the click event is not firing. Any ideas? <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#part_mapper_list inp...

Hi guys, I think I've been too much time looking at this function and just got stuck trying to figure out the nice clean way to do it. It's a jQuery function that adds a click event to any div that has a click CSS class.

It's my understanding that, in terms of selector speed, that #ID selectors are fastest, followed by element selectors, and then .class selectors. I have always assumed that pseudo-class selectors and custom selectors (those in the form ':selector') are similar to .class selectors, but I realised that I'm just not sure. I realise that t...
In the Jquery example below, I would like to expand $(this) before it is cloned, so it includes everything contained in the parent class "comment". How do I do this? I've tried using ReplaceWith($(this).parent('.comment').clone()... and it does not work! $(document).ready( function(){ $('.forumthreadtitle').siblings().hide(); $('.fo...

I need to loop through some elements in the page and then, for each one, if it had a class beginning with, for example, "C", do something. $('#dialog li').each(function(){ if ($(this).hasClass("^C")){ //do something } } It may sound silly, but what selector/method should I use on the if clause? Thanks in advance. ...
Hi guys, I have an HTML form consisting of some text-inputs. I'm using jqTransform to prettify them. Now I want to add two buttons that will add and remove text-input dynamically. Adding is easy: $('#container').append(''); $('input[name=foo]:last-child').jqTransInputText(); But removing is tricky: $('WHAT-TO-SELECT').remove(); ...
I'm trying to use jQuery to find the number of divs that are both visible, and have a background color of Green. (Normally I'd just add a class to the div, style it green, and check for that class in jQuery but in this instance, I can't actually change the markup of the page itself in any way) I currently have the visible div part work...
