How can I determine the element type of a matched element in jQuery?
Just one jQuery too much:
$("[id$=" + endOfIdToMatch + "]").each(function () { alert(this.tagName);});
Consider this solution without using each():
var elements = $("[id$=" + endOfIdToMatch + "]");var vals = elements.is("input").val();var htmls = elements.is("label").html();var contents = vals.concat(htmls);
you could also use something like this:
if ($(this).is('input:checkbox'))replace "this" with whatever instance you need and 'checkbox' with whatever input type you need.
