value of foreach jquery input name

Question

this is about foreach function in JavaScript/jQuery.

I would like some help with wildcard of an input name

example: when any of the inputs' names that starts with 'field_{something}' are clicked.

There is no question here. This is pseudocode at best, not jQuery. [What have you tried?](http://whathaveyoutried.com) — Matt Ball, Sep 05 '12 at 20:45

Your question isn't very well formatted, but it kind of sounds like you're looking for a wildcard selector.

$("[name^=field_]").click(function() {
  //do stuff
});

exactly wildcard selector .. any field that has the name of 'field_{something}' – Amged Sep 05 '12 at 20:49
Above is the syntax for a wildcard selector. I would consider using either class or id as opposed to name. – samuelesque Sep 05 '12 at 20:54
Actually I can't use class, as html output of the inputs is made through a php class that is iOnCube encoded. which is why I can't add class to it. it only adds #IDs – Amged Sep 05 '12 at 21:08

$("input[name^=field_]").each(function(){
 var currentInput = this;
 //...do something ...  
 });
