document.queryselectorall where element name starts with "cb"" in javascript

To use querySelectorAll() to select elements whose name starts with "cb", you can use a CSS attribute selector along with a regular expression.

The attribute selector in CSS allows you to select elements based on the presence or value of an attribute. The syntax is [attribute=value]. Here, we will use the caret (^) symbol to indicate that the attribute value (i.e., the name) should start with the given string, and then use a regular expression to match any text after that.

The regular expression ^cb means "match any string that starts with 'cb'". So the CSS selector [name^="cb"] selects all elements whose name attribute starts with "cb".

Here's an example:

index.tsx
const cbElements = document.querySelectorAll('[name^="cb"]');
62 chars
2 lines

This will select all elements in the document whose name attribute starts with "cb", and return a NodeList containing those elements. You can then do something with those elements, like iterating over them or applying styles.

Note that this will only select elements whose name attribute starts with "cb", not elements whose id or class attributes start with "cb". If you need to select those elements as well, you can modify the CSS selector accordingly.
