copied!<p>This doesn't solve your specific issue, but would couldn't you just do something like this:</p> <pre><code>$('#container-of-the-divs div[id^=title-]').click(function(e) { alert('Clicked div with ID: ' + e.target.id); }); </code></pre> <p>You could also just add a class to these elements and select that instead. If you're looking for performance with a ton of items, you could also add the click event onto a parent item, and then do an if statement inside which would create only one event listener, instead of N event listeners. Example:</p> <pre><code>$('#container-of-the-divs').click(function(e) { if (e.target.id.substring(0, 6) == 'title-') { alert('Clicked div with ID: ' + e.target.id); } }); </code></pre> <p>Or you could just check if $(e.target).hasClass() like mentioned before.</p> <p><strong>Updated: Here is a working example based off the code you gave:</strong></p> <pre><code><div class="result"> <div class="resulttext"> <div id="title-A0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" class="title"> <a href="#">A0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</a> </div> <div id="title-B0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" class="title"> <a href="#">B0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</a> </div> <div id="title-C0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" class="title"> <a href="#">C0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</a> </div> <div id="title-D0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" class="title"> <a href="#">D0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</a> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $('div.resulttext div.title').click(function() { $i = $(this); alert('Clicked div with ID: ' + $i.attr('id')); }); </script> </code></pre>
