jquery select all labels in form

hi there,

(i am using jquery-1.3.2.min.js and mvc)

I have several labels and textboxes in my page.
50% of them have the word "Sdc" in the id - i.e "SdcStartLabel" "SdcEndLabel" "SdcTextbox" etc etc

After the page has loaded, if a certain value is false - i want to disable all the labels and textboxes that have "Sdc" in their id.

When i say disable - for the labels - i want to make the back ground grey - and put "N\A" and for the text inputs - to actually disable them.

Is this possible to do in one statement - rather than explicitly call every label and text box.

If so could someone show me how.

thanks

Hi

var trlist = $('tbl_registration').getElementsByTagName('label');
            var arrTr = $A(trlist).findAll(function (node){return node.id.match("^Sdc")});
            arrTr.each(function(node){
                  node.style.display = action ;
            });

u can change label and $('tbl_registration') to ur requirement

Hi,

where action = block or none .
which would do show and hide

u can even pass these parameter thru ur function so that only one function can be used to both label and ur textbox or checkbox and anything else
