  How do I insert a variable into a the name of a control using Jquery

  Feb 13, 2012 03:12 AM|LINK

  I have several controls wtih only one part of the middle being different and but want to use one function to handle all of them.

  I have tried to do the following:

  I have a textbox called TxtAddDriverModel and another one called TxtAddPassengerModel

  I am trying to access the two different textboxes by inserting the clubType in the string but it doesn't work.  What do I do?

  var Type = 'Driver'

  if (!($("#<%=TxtAdd" + Type + "Model.ClientID %>").val() == 'Add New MODEL Here!'))

  Hi,

  Try this-

  var Type = 'Driver'
  if (!($('input[id*=TxtAdd' + Type + 'Model]').val() == 'Add New MODEL Here!'))

  Thanks & Regards

  Thanks!

  Using the new notation, how would i get the value of a dropdownlist.

  For example, I would use the following before:

  if ($("#<%=ddlMake.ClientID %> option:selected").val() == -1)

  Hi,

  JAYHAWKER

  if ($("#<%=ddlMake.ClientID %> option:selected").val() == -1)

  Try this-

  if ($("select[id*=ddlMake]").val() == -1)

  Thanks, that worked great.

  How do I handlle the same thing for textobx, hiddenfield, and label.

  i.e, is it input [id*=.....

  or text[id*=.....

  or select[id*=....

   

  and for a div, what is it?

  Hi,

  It is $('tagname[id=tagid]. There can be a lots of combinations. You should study attribute selector. check the following for detail-

  It is sometimes hard to figure that out. For example, the hidden field shows as <hidden but you use input to make it work. Thanks for your help, I did finally get it!

  Hi,

  You always need to check the rendered html content to work with jQuery.
