Reference Id in Javascript knowing only part of it

Question

I have this select:

<select id="987_country">

but I only know that the id ends with "country".

How I reference it (987_country) using:

$('#myIdName ')

I think OP want to get the element by not knowing the number before country. — vaso123, Dec 06 '18 at 09:47

Try with attributeEndsWith selector that

Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value ending exactly with a given string. The comparison is case sensitive.

$('[id$=country]')

console.log($('[id$=country]')[0].nodeName)

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="987_country"></select>
