I've got several elements with unique ids like so:

```
<div id='item-1-top'></div>
<div id='item-2-top'></div>
<div id='item-3-top'></div>

```

I was hoping that the following would work using jQuery:

```
$("#item-[.]+-top").each(function() {
  $(this).hide();
});

```

I do not have a good grasp of regular expressions and I would appreciate some input, as the above appears to be incorrect.
