Native Javascript querySelectorAll() with multiple/many pseudo selectors/matches

How can I place many pseudo selectors inside the native Javascript querySelectorAll()?

Example: I want to search for an element with an id that starts with [id^=starting] and ends with [id$=ending]. (Couldn't find existing question so making my own and answering it)

Solution

  • With Native Javascript this would be the code:

    document.querySelectorAll('[id^=starting][id$=ending]');

    or

    document.querySelectorAll('[id^='+startingString+'][id$='+endingString+']');

    This will get an element which starts with the specified string AND ends with the specified string.

    Edit: And to do an "OR", put a space between them:

    document.querySelectorAll('[id^=starting] [id$=ending]');
