The element ID selector selects a single element with the given id attribute.
Here is the simple syntax to use this selector:
$('#elementid')
Here is the description of all the parameters used by this selector:
elementid: This would be an element ID. If the id contains any special characters like periods or colons you have to escape those characters with backslashes.
Like any other jQuery selector, this selector also returns an array filled with the found element.
$('#myid') selects a single element with the given id myid.
$('div#yourid') selects a single division with the given id yourid.
Following example would select second division and display its content:
<html> <head> <title>The Selecter Example</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../js/jquery-2.2.0.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var divs = $("#divid2"); alert("Found Division: " + divs[0].innerHTML); }); </script> </head> <body> <div class="div1" id="divid1"> <p class="para1" id="pid1">This is first paragraph.</p> <p class="para2" id="pid2">This is second paragraph.</p> <p class="para3" id="pid3">This is third paragraph.</p> </div> <br /> <div class="div2" id="divid2"> <p>This is second division of the DOM.</p> </div> <br /> <div class="div3" id="divid3"> <p>A para inside third division</p> </div> </body> </html>
