jQuery wildcard all selector

The jQuery wildcard all selector is used to filter out all the elements in a page

$(“*”)

In this post we shall see on how to use the jQuery wildcard all selector to select all the elements in a page

The following script lists out all the elements in a page

$("*").each(function() {

alert('Wildcard - All:' + $(this).attr('id'));

    });

The following script lists out all the elements in a page on click of the btnWildcardSelector button.

$('#btnWildcardSelector).click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    //
    // Wildcard - All

$("*").each(function() {

alert('Wildcard - All:' + $(this).attr('id'));

});
});
