Tom, You could do it one of two ways:
1) When you generate your random divs, just assign them all a classname <div class="random" id="divname1234">content</div> Then use $('div.random').doStuff(); 2) You could get all divs in the dom and check whether their id attribute matches div[0-9]+, something like: $('div').each(function() { var id = $(this).attr('id'); if (id == SomeRegex()) //valid. } ); On Apr 15, 3:07 pm, "Glen Lipka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/14/07, Tom Shafer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Hi, i need to be able to find all elements with a div id of something > > like divname plus some randmom number, each div id will be like this, > > so something like divname324 or divname453 > > > so how can I select all divs with a name divname plus some random > > numbers > > > $("#divname + random number").ajaxForm({ > > target: '#commentFormOutput', > > success: processcommentForm > > }); > > > Thanks > > > -TJ > > You can concatenate..like this: > > var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*11); > $("divname" + randomnumber).dostuff(); > > Is that what you were looking for? > > Glen
