Destroy DIVs with their IDs containing a particular string

Question

I have some DIVs with IDs like 'abc_chosen', 'danger_chosen', etc.

I would like to delete all DIVs when their IDs contain the string '_chosen'.

How can I do that?

look in the jQuery selectors API ... would have found answer as fast as creating this question..and might have learned something at the same time — charlietfl, May 13 '15 at 13:12

Try this:

$('div[id$="_chosen"]').remove();

$ here will check if _chosen is at the end of id.

Thanks to @evolutionxbox: If you want to check if id contain _chosen anywhere(not at the end)

$('[id*="_chosen"]').remove();

You could also try `$('[id*="_chosen"]').remove();` where the `*` matches `_chosen` in any part of the ID string. – evolutionxbox May 13 '15 at 13:14
@evolutionxbox The OP didn't mention this case, also the examples are ending with `_chosen` – Tushar May 13 '15 at 13:15
Maybe not, but it's still good to know. – evolutionxbox May 13 '15 at 13:19
