Hi all,

In my form, I would like to identify all element with a specific classname (start with and contain).

E.g : Start with "customer_" and contains "m"

Element

Jquery => Hide class "customer_*m*"

return => <e class="form customer_saphir" />

I tried :

Field27 = "m"

$("[class*="+$("#Field27").val()+"]").show();

But it return me all the element because of the classname "form".

Next, I tried :

$("[class^=customer_]:contains("+$("#Field27").val()+")").show();

But unsuccess

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

I don't think you can do that with just css selectors. You can do "class name starts with" and "class name contains", but as in your last example they won't combine the way you want, and there is no "class name matches this pattern". You might have to choose better class names or use multiple classes. https://css-tricks.com/attribute-selectors/ is a helpful resource.

Have you tried hiding before showing?

$(".form").hide();
$("[class*="+$("#Field27").val()+"]").show();

Hi Michael, thanks for the help.

The action (Showing or hiding) is not the problem. The problème is the selection.

In my collection, I wish to select all element with :

1. Start with "customer_"

AND

2. contain "m"

(all restrictions for the same class' name).

This should be return me : <e class="form customer_emeraude" />

The worries is about the fonction. It looks like the AND restrictions is not for the same class' name.

E.G:

<e class="form customer_emeraude" /> (start with "customer_m" and get "m")

<e class="form customer_saphir" /> (start with "customer_m" and get "m" but not in the same name)

Hi Brian.

Thanks for the tips. I changed the direction.

I added a "Title" for each div in my collection. Laserfiche don't use "title" by default so I could search only my terms.

Thanks for your help.
