Change the value of multiple dynamically PHP generated text-boxes using jquery

I have generated multiple text boxes using PHP with name="student[<?php echo $StudentID ; ?>]".

Now on a button click i want to change the value of all these text boxes using jquery.

How do i do this ? Please help.

Solution

  • You can use the Attribute Starts With selector, to look for student[ at the beginning of the name attribute:

    $('input[name^="student["]').val('the new value');

    It's probably unnecessary to include the [ at the end, and name^="student" will be sufficient, assuming you don't have other inputs with names like student_name or the like.

    // If no conflicting named inputs, use
$('input[name^="student"]').val('the new value');
