<div>
Hi Rainer, <br />
<br />
I found out that the following returns an HTMLCollection object.<br />
&nbsp;var cells = document.all(&quot;cell_1_0&quot;);<br />
<br />
And this returns an array object. So i'm not sure if it's compatible with the above.<br />
var cells = $(&quot;*[id^=cell_1_0]&quot;);<br />
<br />
Does this return an HTMLCollection object too?<br />
var elements = document.querySelectorAll(<wbr />'[id^=cell<wbr />_1_0');
</div>


Hi Rainer,

I found out that the following returns an HTMLCollection object.
 var cells = document.all("cell_1_0");

And this returns an array object. So i'm not sure if it's compatible with the above.
var cells = $("*[id^=cell_1_0]");

Does this return an HTMLCollection object too?
var elements = document.querySelectorAll('[id^=cell_1_0');

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have to replace the line below:<br />
var cells = document.all(&quot;cell_1_0&quot;);<br />
Does this return an array of elements of all the elements with id=cell_1_0 ? <br />
<br />
Using JQuery: can i simply replace this line with:<br />
var cells = $(&quot;*[id^=cell_1_0]&quot;);<br />
Does this return an array of elements of all the elements that start with id=cell_1_0 ?<br />
The reason i have &nbsp;the ^ is just to include more ids that start with cell_1_0<br />
<br />
Is there a pure Javascript way of doing this also?

Javascript: replacing document.all()

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
