How to set new id attribute with jQuery?


To implement this, extract id from attr() and use replace() to replace the id attribute.

Example

Following is the code −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
   <title>Document</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<body>
   <div id="first-name">
</body>
<script>
   $('[id*="-"]').each(function () {
      console.log('Previous Id attribute: ' + $(this).attr('id'));
      $(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id').replace('-', '----'));
      console.log('Now Id Attribute: ' + $(this).attr('id'));
   });
</script>
