Execute JavaScript.replace in JQuery
How do I accomplish the following in JQuery?
var elmOperator = document.getElementById(elm.id.replace('Include', 'Operator'));
The identifier that is being processed will look like Criteria [0]. Enable. I am trying to create a variable for an associated identifier that is criterion [0]. Operator.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming elm is a jQuery object and not a DOM object, you can do this:
var elmOperator = $("#" + elm.attr('id').replace('Include', 'Operator'));
If it's a DOM object, you can do this (which is slightly faster):
var elmOperator = $("#" + elm.id.replace('Include', 'Operator'));
The more question is why you want to do this. Unless you know something basic like jQuery selectors and attr()
, does your page use jQuery anywhere?

You can still use old javascript in jQuery, so for your sample it would be something like this:
var operators = $('[id*=Include]').map(function() {
return $('#' + $(this).get(0).id.replace('Include', 'Operator'));
});
operators.css('background', 'red');
In this example, we select all Include elements, and then do a 1: 1 element mapping with a new array of operator elements, and finally we set all operational backgrounds to red.
