Find all elements on a page whose element ID contains a certain text using jQuery

I'm trying to find all elements on a page whose element ID contains a certain text. I'll then need to filter the found elements based on whether they are hidden or not. Any help is greatly appreciated.

$('*[id*=mytext]:visible').each(function() {
    $(this).doStuff();
});

Note the asterisk '*' at the beginning of the selector matches all elements.

See the Attribute Contains Selectors, as well as the :visible and :hidden selectors.

If you're finding by Contains then it'll be like this

    $("input[id*='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

If you're finding by Starts With then it'll be like this

    $("input[id^='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

If you're finding by Ends With then it'll be like this

     $("input[id$='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

If you want to select elements which id is not a given string

    $("input[id!='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

If you want to select elements which name contains a given word, delimited by spaces

     $("input[name~='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

If you want to select elements which id is equal to a given string or starting with that string followed by a hyphen

     $("input[id|='DiscountType']").each(function (i, el) {
         //It'll be an array of elements
     });

This selects all DIVs with an ID containing 'foo' and that are visible

$("div:visible[id*='foo']");

Thanks to both of you. This worked perfectly for me.

$("input[type='text'][id*=" + strID + "]:visible").each(function() {
    this.value=strVal;
});
