getElementById containing/similar to

[cptuser]

Hi,

I'm new to javascript. I need to be able to set a variable what get the value by an ID that contains a particular let and not exactly. Can one use a wild card?
Here is what I'm trying to do:

[CODE=javascript]var start_t_mon = document.getEle mentById("*_par tofid").value,[/CODE]

So I want to set this variable for any form field value that contains "_partofid" !

Heya, CPT.

document.getEle mentById() does not support globbing, but you might find it useful to use the name property combined with document.getEle mentsByName():

[code=html]
<div id="1_partofid " name="partofid" >...</div>
<div id="2_partofid " name="partofid" >...</div>
[/code]
[code=javascript]
var divs = document.getEle mentsByName('pa rtofid');
[/code]
