Use Wildcards Like Hashname in jQuery Selectors
For getting the id that begins or ends with a particular string in jQuery selectors, you shouldn’t use the wildcards $('#name*'), $('#name%'). Instead use the characters ^and $. The ^ is used is used to get all elements starting with a particular string. The $ is used is used to get all elements ending with a particular string.
Example
You can try to run the following code to learn how to get id beginning and endingwith a particular string.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("[id$=new1]").css("background-color", "yellow");
$("[id^=myid]").css("background-color", "green");
});
</script>
</head>

<div id="idnew1" myattr="javasubject">Java</div>
